Canton

What brought you to Baltimore?

I moved here because of the lively and upbeat nature of the people here.

What do you love most about this neighborhood?

I love how people keep it clean here. I’ve been told that I live in a "restaurant neighborhood." I really enjoy going to the different places in Canton. It’s on the water. It’s beautiful and the people are friendly. We’re located near the interstate, near grocery stores like Target. We have it all in Canton. Where I live, we are one block from walking or running on the waterfront.

What would you tell someone considering this neighborhood?

We have a community here. On the 10th of every month each neighbor will put their lights on (outside bulb lights) on to signal to one another that we are connected. It’s beautiful, what more can I say except come on over and join us!

What brought you to Baltimore?

We first moved to DC for work before we were transferred to Aberdeen, MD. We wanted to continue living in a metropolitan area and decided to give Baltimore a try. After renting only a few months, we knew we wanted to live here long term and bought our home. Living in a city can be challenging, but it is also rewarding. You will get to know your neighbors, make friends, and grow your village. You will run into people you know at one of your neighborhood restaurants, bars, or grocery store. It makes you feel more like you are in a small town, but with the conveniences and benefits of living in a city.

What do you love most about this neighborhood?

Our neighborhood association, Canton Community Association (CCA). Through the CCA, you learn about your neighborhood and the volunteers work on various projects to improve the neighborhood.

What would you tell someone considering this neighborhood?

Canton is great for families and those wanting to stay long term. We have daycares, a good elementary/middle school, easy access to public transit and the highway, lots of grocery stores and shopping, better parking than other neighborhoods, and the crime is NOT as bad as the news makes. We have porch pirates and people that will rifle through your car if you leave it unlocked. You will get those in the 'burbs, too. At least in Canton, you know your neighbors and they will grab your package for you!
