Good morning Baltimore! Even if you were not a fan of the musical Hairspray, you'll love Charm City. On the Chesapeake Bay lies plucky Baltimore, overflowing with history and character. The site of the first casualty of the American Civil War, where the lyrics of Star Spangled Banner were written, and greatly influenced by African American history, Baltimore is a landmark in itself.
Seafood fan? We've got two words for you: steamed crabs. For those of you who watch The Wire, don't worry, your life is not about to become crime-ridden when you rent in Baltimore. But you will need to become familiar with the East/West divide, pit beef sandwiches, and coddies. With some of the best healthcare in the country provided by the Johns Hopkins Hospital, entertainment offerings at venues like the Meyerhoff, Hippodrome and Lyric theatres, and of course the classic charm of Baltimore brick row houses, you'll be singing about Baltimore too, and John Waters might make a movie about it.
Baltimore's rental market offers a strong selection of listings, with an average of 3,671 available per month. The most common apartment sizes are 2-bedroom and 1-bedroom units, accounting for 32% and 30% of the market, respectively. Studios make up a smaller portion, at 8%. Many Baltimore apartments offer desirable amenities, with in-unit laundry being a standout feature, available in 52% of listings. Pet-friendliness is also a common perk, with 46% of listings allowing pets outright and an additional 46% allowing pets with some restrictions. These figures are based on historical data, but they should give you a sense of what to expect in the current market.
Baltimore's rental market has experienced a slight decline in 2024, with the average monthly rent for all bed types and properties decreasing by 0.02% to $1,598.
Breaking down the market by bed count, 1-bedrooms are averaging $1,373 per month, representing a 5.95% decrease from the previous year. The average rent for 2-bedrooms is around $1,666, while studios are averaging $1,155. Notably, 3-bedrooms have seen a 7.94% increase, with an average rent of $1,796.
The Baltimore rental market exhibits some seasonal fluctuations, with May typically seeing the highest rent prices, about 0.46% higher than April, the month with the lowest rent. April is also the most competitive month, with higher demand compared to available inventory. In contrast, December is the least competitive month, with lower overall demand. If you're searching for a new apartment, considering the winter months might result in slightly lower prices, although the selection might be limited.
Baltimore's rich history is reflected in its diverse architectural landscape, offering renters a unique blend of old and new. The city is home to a significant number of Federal-style buildings, which account for approximately 42.6% of the rental market. This classic style, popularized in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is characterized by its symmetrical facades, balanced proportions, and ornate details. Another prominent style in Baltimore is Colonial, making up around 34.8% of the market. This timeless design, inspired by the city's colonial past, features simple, rectangular shapes and classic detailing. For those seeking a more modern aesthetic, Contemporary-style rentals are also available, comprising about 15.3% of the market. These sleek, modern buildings offer a fresh take on urban living in this historic city. Architectural style in Baltimore is representative of a subset of listings available on Zumper over the last few years.
Baltimore's most sought-after neighborhoods offer a unique blend of character, amenities, and lifestyle options. For those who value social living, Downtown Baltimore and Seton Hill are top choices, with 1-bedroom rents averaging $2,594 per month. These areas are hubs for restaurants, safety, and walkability, making them ideal for those who thrive in vibrant environments. Seton Hill, in particular, garners six times more interest than the market average, indicating its exceptional appeal.
Pet owners will find Seton Hill, Ridgely's Delight, Upton, and Canton to be pet-friendly havens, offering features like pet spaces, outdoor areas, and dog parks. These neighborhoods cater to the needs of pet owners, providing a comfortable and welcoming environment for both residents and their furry friends.
While Baltimore's popular neighborhoods come with a higher price tag, they offer a distinct lifestyle that many renters are willing to pay for. With Downtown Baltimore accounting for 8% of the city's market and Seton Hill drawing significant interest, it's clear that these areas are in high demand. Whether you prioritize social living or pet friendliness, Baltimore's top neighborhoods have something to offer.
