Families With Children

Families thrive in Baltimore!

The rumors simply aren’t true. Having kids doesn’t mean having to move out of the city! Thousands of families have discovered the “Way to Stay” in Baltimore and you can too. Retain your identity as a city-dweller AND pass on the love of city life to your children.

“Baltimore has enriched my life and the life of my family in so, so many ways.” – Janine McCormick, Butchers Hill resident and parent
