Fells Point is one of the most historic and recognizable waterfront neighborhoods in Baltimore, known for its preserved maritime character, cobblestone streets, and active residential and commercial life. Located along the harbor in southeast Baltimore, Fells Point blends historic architecture with a lively urban atmosphere, making it one of the city’s most consistently in demand neighborhoods.
Fells Point real estate is defined by a mix of historic rowhomes, converted warehouses, condominiums, and smaller multifamily properties. Many homes retain original architectural details such as exposed brick, wood beams, and narrow historic footprints, while others have been thoughtfully renovated to incorporate modern interiors. Condominiums and waterfront properties add diversity to the housing stock, attracting a wide range of buyers including professionals, investors, and those seeking a walkable city lifestyle with strong character.
The neighborhood’s waterfront setting and commercial core are central to its appeal. Fells Point offers direct access to the harbor promenade, marinas, and water taxi routes, reinforcing its connection to Baltimore’s maritime history. Restaurants, bars, shops, and neighborhood services line the main corridors, creating constant street activity while maintaining a distinct sense of place rooted in the area’s historic past.
From a location standpoint, Fells Point provides convenient access to downtown Baltimore, Canton, Harbor East, and major commuter routes including I-95 and I-83. Its proximity to employment centers, medical campuses, and waterfront amenities continues to support strong housing demand. The neighborhood’s walkability and density make it particularly attractive to buyers seeking an urban, car-optional lifestyle.
From a market perspective, Fells Point remains an active and competitive neighborhood, with buyer demand driven by limited inventory, historic appeal, and waterfront proximity. Pricing is influenced by property type, condition, and location within the neighborhood, with well renovated homes and condos typically generating strong interest.
