Union Square is a historic residential neighborhood located in West Baltimore, centered around one of the city’s oldest public squares. Known for its architecturally significant rowhomes, wide streets, and cohesive historic fabric, Union Square offers a distinct urban environment rooted in Baltimore’s nineteenth century development and preservation legacy.
Union Square real estate is primarily composed of large brick rowhomes dating from the mid to late 1800s, many featuring original architectural details such as marble steps, decorative cornices, tall ceilings, and generous proportions. Housing styles range from fully restored historic residences to properties in varying stages of renovation, offering opportunities for both owner occupants and investors. Pricing is influenced by condition, level of restoration, square footage, and proximity to the square itself.
Location is a key advantage for Union Square. The neighborhood provides convenient access to downtown Baltimore, the University of Maryland campus, major medical institutions, and commuter routes including I 95 and I 395. Union Square Park serves as a focal point for the community, reinforcing neighborhood identity and walkability while supporting a quieter residential atmosphere within the city.
From a market perspective, Union Square attracts buyers drawn to historic architecture, value relative to other central Baltimore neighborhoods, and the potential for long term appreciation. Demand is strongest for well restored homes that respect historic character while offering modern systems and layouts. For buyers, Union Square presents an opportunity to enter a historic district with scale and architectural significance. For sellers, success depends on accurate pricing, thoughtful presentation, and marketing that emphasizes architectural integrity and neighborhood context.
Union Square continues to benefit from preservation efforts, reinvestment, and renewed interest in Baltimore’s historic urban neighborhoods. Its combination of architectural depth, central location, and strong neighborhood identity positions it as a compelling and enduring residential market.
