Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

The words penned by Francis Scott Key, in 1814, never cease to bring a chill to Americans everywhere.  But what most Americans don’t have is the same privilege Baltimoreans do – seeing Fourth of July fireworks over the same harbor that inspired Key to write his famous poem.

This year’s fireworks display is being sponsored by Ports America.  The “bombs bursting in air” will start at 9:30 p.m. on July 4^th.  But don’t wait until evening to head to the Inner Harbor as there are many festivities leading up to the main event.   The schedule of events is:

West Shore Park (near 401 Light St).

Noon –2:00 p.m.    The Magic and Comedy of Jason Moffett

1 – 3 p.m.            Milkshake, interactive musical entertainment for children

Inner Harbor Amphitheater

4 p.m.                  Pennsylvania Air National Guard Band, patriotic

7:30 p.m.            Electric Brigade, a U.S. Naval Academy Band

9:30 p.m.            Fireworks Show

New to the market is Unit E4 boasting three bedrooms and one bath on two levels. The gleaming hardwood floors and generously high ceilings pay homage to this almost century old building.  The living room features a brick, wood-burning fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases. Immediately off of the living room is a four-season sun porch, filled with light by arched, deep-set windows. The formal dining room is appointed with wall-sconce lighting and opens to the sun porch and living room, giving a natural flow for entertaining. A graceful staircase leads to the second floor’s three bedrooms and updated bath.  There’s no need to rent storage space, as this condo offers numerous closets.

The Charles Village community offers many amenities within walking distance, including a grocery store, coffee shops, casual dining, ice cream, and a Barnes & Noble, just to name a few.  WalkScore.com calls Charles Village a “walker’s paradise” and gives it a score of 95 out of 100 for its eco-friendliness and many conveniences.

Residents of the area do not have to leave their neighborhood to partake in arts and entertainment. The Johns Hopkins University is the center of the community.  Besides producing world-class doctors, the University offers many non-credit enrichment courses through its Odyssey program. JHU’s Blue Jay Stadium offers sports lovers many opportunities to attend events at reasonable prices.

The Baltimore Museum of Art is a short walk along tree-lined streets.  Spend an afternoon perusing the collection amassed by Baltimore’s legendary Cone sisters, free of charge. The Village Learning Place offers many cultural and volunteerism events.  On Saturdays, May through November, the local farmers market gives shoppers a chance to purchase locally and organically grown produce and homemade foods.

This unit is one of Baltimore’s best deals in real estate and can be yours for the low asking price of $149,500.  Calvert Courts condos do not come on the market often so this unit is sure to sell quickly.

This weekend, Sunday February 6, 2011 at 6:30pm, will be the SuperBowl that will feature the Green Bay Packers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers. If you are looking for a place to watch the SuperBowl, here is a list of Baltimore bars where you can watch the game on the big screens, enjoy great food and company. On the other hand, if you are not in the mood to watch the game at a local bar, you can watch the SuperBowl game in your condominium with your friends and family or if you are a hip-hop fan, why not listen to the hip hop football faceoff song between Lil Wayne(‘Green and Yellow’) and Wiz Khalifa(‘Black and Yellow’) which can be found on YouTube according to Wall Street Journal.

And after the SuperBowl game, you decide you like the living space in the Baltimore area from the visit of your friend or family; why not contact a CondoDomain agent to get more information about Baltimore condominiums, mortgages, developments, and the neighborhoods.

Have a Great Weekend and Enjoy the SuperBowl game!

Baltimore-area rental and condo market in early ’10

New condos have taken it on the chin in this housing market, but first-quarter sales in the Baltimore metro area were the highest in three years, according to real estate information firm Delta Associates. (There were 119 “net” deals, which accounts for contracts that fell through.)

About 1,700 new condos are ready for occupancy or under construction, so Delta doesn’t expect “price traction” until next year at the earliest. Asking prices were down 4.2 percent from a year earlier.

On the up side, the inventory was nearly 2,700 a year ago. Big drop since then….

If you’re an artist interested in moving to Baltimore – or just someone who enjoys art in Baltimore – there’s a great new project the horizon that’s sure to attract your attention.

On March 9, Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Shaun Donovan and National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Chairman Rocco Landesman teamed up for a site visit to the new City Arts, an affordable residential development designed with artists in mind. Located in the Arts and Entertainment District of Baltimore Station, City Arts is scheduled to open in January 2011.

However, developments targeted at artists are not just for the sake of artists – the presence of people who serve to push against cultural norms and contribute to local community growth are always conducive to community development. And as everyone knows, wherever the artists choose to settle, the rest of the world is soon to follow. (Walden, anyone?)

“At the NEA, we know that artists are placemakers,” Landesman said, as reported by the NEA website. “When you bring arts organizations and arts workers into a neighborhood, the ethos of that place changes: the arts are a force of social cohesion, civic engagement, and economic revitalization. We are thrilled that the City Arts development was made possible through an existing HUD program and a forward thinking public-private partnership.”

Targeted to low- and moderate-income artists, the development will include 69 rental apartments, 8 for-sale town houses, and a professionally managed visual arts gallery and performance arts space.  11 units will also be reserved for non-elderly disabled persons from the Public Housing Waiting List.

The project is being financed as part of the Recovery Act investments, which were intended to jump-start affordable housing development. City Arts will add much to Baltimore Station’s considerable assets, which include a plethora of cultural organizations and activities, entertainment venues, and proximity to public transportation.

But just in case you can’t wait that long for housing, check out other affordable options on CondoDomain, and save thousands!

Mayor Stephanie C. Rawlings-Blake turned Thursday to civic leaders and athletic apparel maker Under Armour Inc. for help in luring a high-profile Google pilot project to Baltimore. She also appointed a “Google Czar” to spearhead the effort.
