Union Square Baltimore

he heart of the city is a very different thing – there are issues of traffic, restricted parking, cramped quarters and noise. That’s the beauty of having a home in historic Union Square. “Close to the heart” with none of the drawbacks, Union Square is a cosmopolitan mix of residential comfort and urban excitement. The Union Square/Hollins Market Historic District is in Southwest Baltimore (known to locals as SoWeBo). This historic neighborhood, one of Baltimore’s friendliest, is marked by pre- and post-Civil War architecture, period street lamps, brick sidewalks and stately row homes. An uncommon synergy prevails in the neighborhood as residents, both longtime and newly-arrived, work together through various committees and forums to enhance the area’s quality of life.
