    "I bought a rehab in the Johnston Square area last year and could not be happier. Granted, at a first glance, it's pretty intimidating around here. It is not an upscale area. But after a couple weeks it really sinks in how amazing the location is. You are more or less in the heart of the city, literally minutes away from Mt. Vernon, Station North, Fell's, Hopkins, and (for the time being) paying next-to-nothing for beautiful homes. With the development set to happen on the North Ave corridor in the coming decade, this is quite possibly Baltimore's next hot area."
