Canton
Low-key Neighborhood with its Own Social Scene
East of Fell’s Point on Baltimore’s outer harbor is Canton. A quaint village square rimmed with restaurants, pubs and shops along O’Donnell Street is the heart of this neighborhood. If you're looking for a low-key area that is still close to the traditionally popular places, Canton is the perfect spot.

Canton —
8.5/10 Rating
(based on 6 neighborhood reviews)
Canton is a safer, quiet neighborhood with a mixture of young professionals and families. There are relatively few families with older children as people tend to move out of the city when children approach school age. There are tons of restaurants, and grocery shopping is pretty walkable.

706 S. Lakewood Ave.
There are lots of things to do in Canton, which makes it a popular spot for young professionals and recent college graduates. As long as you're OK in this crowd, then Canton can be a really fun place to live and play. Otherwise, I'd suggest a calmer neighborhood, like Mt. Vernon or Locust Point.

Like all of Baltimore, Canton residents love to drink. You'll find a number of bars in the area and some pretty great eats, too. Canton Square is a great place to start if you're new to the neighborhood. Can't really go too terribly wrong with any of the options there.
Canton also has a reasonable amount of green space for city living. It's located between Patterson Park to the north and the Korean War Memorial Park to the south. Generally speaking, Canton is about as safe as Baltimore gets but you should still be wary. Crimes do happen and if you're a member of the Canton Neighbors facebook group you hear all about it. Canton is a great location - convenient to both Fells and Inner Harbor as well as to I-95 that lets you get out of the city quickly. Really enjoy living here! Keep reading
Tindeco Wharf
We love the neighborhood. It is so convenient that Harris Teeter and Target are right across the street. Along with many dining options. The Swuare is also only a few blocks away.

Popular spots include Mahaffey's Pub, Annabel Lee Tavern, and Fork & Wrench.
Reviewers rave about this area for being a break from the madness of downtown while still being close enough to enjoy it.
Canton offers the opportunity to hangout by the water, relax with a more mature crowd, but still get to anywhere you need to be in the city in under 15 minutes.
It's the best of both worlds.
