CROSS COUNTRY
Between Mt. Washington and Pikesville, a walkable, affordable neighborhood
Cross Country is between Mt. Washington and Pikesville in the northwest corner of Baltimore City. Wide sidewalks make it a pleasantly walkable neigh- borhood, and many of its residents walk to their synagogue on the Jewish Sabbath and high holidays. Additionally, it is within the North Baltimore eruv, a ritual enclosure designed to ease Sabbath restric- tions for observant Jews. There is lots of shopping on Reisterstown Road and also in nearby Mt. Wash- ington Village.
Home styles: A wide variety, mostly built in the 1950s and ’60s. Split levels, ranchers, apartments, and rowhouses coexist. Lots tend to be on the smaller side.
Home prices: Since 2015, the median price in Cross Country has risen by half, to its current $143,750.
Walk to: Parks, schools, synagogue.
