My ex owns a house there. Was mugged repeatedly and had multiple breakins, but kept making excuses because she loved the community. Seeing a guy shot and bleed out on her stoop sealed the deal. She moved to Govans

There are definitely streets to avoid. Leverton between East and Highland is a big one. With that said, the area is improving every year.

That's not Highlandtown, that's Baltimore Highlands.

According to that map the big problem block is actually part of the Patterson park neighborhood. But that GIS map is kinda odd. It has a Patterson Park and a Patterson Park Neighborhood section. I was pretty sure the Highlandtown Neighborhood association covered the first block of Leverton (the one I’m talking about, the 3200 block, to the west of Highland.)

Somewhat. That’s not something you’d say for Roland Park or Canton or Fells or Fed Hill though. Most of Highlandtown is fine but a handful of streets are still issues. Many of these are made up of mostly rentals.
