Living in Harbor East Baltimore
Modern condominium towers, marinas and full-service living
Discover upscale waterfront living with modern condominiums, restaurants, shopping, hotels, marinas and convenient access to Baltimore's Inner Harbor.
Neighborhood overview
What Is It Like to Live in Harbor East?
Harbor East is Baltimore's newest waterfront district — a planned neighborhood of glass condominium towers, hotels, offices and street-level retail built directly on the harbor between the Inner Harbor and Fells Point.
It is the clearest choice for buyers who want condominium living with a doorman, structured parking, an elevator and restaurants downstairs rather than a historic rowhome with stairs and a roof deck.
Harbor East runs on convenience: a grocery store and cinema within the district, marina slips at the door, and a promenade that connects the whole waterfront without crossing a highway.
Housing Styles in Harbor East
What you will find while exploring Harbor East:
- High-rise and mid-rise condominiums with harbor views
- Full-service buildings with concierge, fitness and garage parking
- Penthouse and corner units overlooking the marina
- A small number of newer townhomes at the district edges
Waterfront Access
The district is built on the water. The harbor promenade fronts the buildings, marina slips sit steps from lobbies, and most upper-floor units look across the harbor toward Federal Hill and downtown.
Parking
The easiest parking of the five. Nearly all condominium buildings include structured garage parking, and public garages serve visitors — a decisive advantage for buyers leaving Federal Hill or Fells Point.
Walkability
Among the highest walk scores in Baltimore. Groceries, dining, retail, a cinema and the office core are all within a few blocks on flat, well-lit sidewalks.
Transportation
President Street and Aliceanna Street connect to I-83 and I-95. The Charm City Circulator, water taxi and extensive bike lanes all serve the district directly.
Access to Downtown
A 5 to 10 minute walk to the Inner Harbor and the central business district — effectively an extension of downtown.
