Live like royalty in a city named after a famous English mansion.
Many moons ago, there was a magnificent mansion built in the area that is now known as Baltimore Highlands. Both the land and the mansion were owned by William Dawson, who was the first English consul to Maryland. Rumor has it that the mansion may have been used as a stop on the Underground Railroad; however, this has never been confirmed. In 1909, the land was purchased by a real estate developer who divided the area into three sections: Baltimore Highlands, Friendship Gardens, and the English Consul. Today, Baltimore Highlands has an estimated population of 7,019, and it's quickly becoming one of the most popular destinations for people looking to relocate, due to its prime location between the nation's capital and a thriving metropolis in Baltimore, MD.
