You won't find Berea on tourist maps, and that's precisely its charm. This east Baltimore neighborhood offers those gorgeous brick rowhomes at prices that would be a typo in Canton or Fells Point. Many landlords still operate the old-school Baltimore way – reasonable rent in exchange for good tenants, often with month-to-month flexibility you'll never find in corporate buildings. The 13 bus gets you downtown in 15 minutes, though late-night service is spotty. What Berea lacks in trendy coffee shops it makes up for in authentic corner stores where fried chicken comes with actual conversation from owners who remember your name. When spring blooms, Patterson Park is close enough for weekend walks without the rental premium of living right on it.
