Highlights
Federal Hill (or just Fed Hill, if you like), is idyllic for families, teenagers, the college crowd and young professionals. Older people find it appealing, too, with its simple and inviting pleasures independent of the hustle and bustle of nearby downtown. A stroll through the park is relaxing and offers an attractive view of Baltimore's skyline and maritime vistas. However, if something more invigorating is your style, there is a potpourri of bars and restaurants on Charles and Light streets suitable for every wallet and palate.

Federal Hill (or just Fed Hill, if you like), is idyllic for families, teenagers, the college crowd and young professionals. Older people find it appealing, too, with its simple and inviting pleasures independent of the hustle and bustle of nearby downtown. A stroll through the park is relaxing and offers an attractive view of Baltimore's skyline and maritime vistas. However, if something more invigorating is your style, there is a potpourri of bars and restaurants on Charles and Light streets suitable for every wallet and palate. Hearing live music at any number of taverns is a popular Federal Hill pastime, as is attending one of the several street fairs happening throughout the year. The very active and tight-knit neighborhood association keeps residents and visitors occupied with events and gatherings on a regular basis. The neighborhood is a perfect example of urban renewal and modern gentrification. Polished rowhouses primarily made of old-fashioned brick stand next to more contemporary dwellings, some of them rehabbed from existing structures and others built from scratch over the last few decades. Case in point is the Cross Street Market; once a 19th century marketplace, its recent makeover reaffirms its place as the neighborhood's social and commercial core.
