Sitting along the Patapsco River in south Baltimore is the suburban oasis of Brooklyn. An abundance of churches call Brooklyn home, along with small businesses, local restaurants, and affordable rentals. Apartments, houses, condos, and townhomes are all spread within this bustling suburbia, so there’s something for everyone. To the east of Brooklyn is a large industrial space on the river, and to the west is Southwest Area Park, offering sports fields, picnic spots, and a dog park.
Interstate 895 travels along the north end of Brooklyn, but Hanover Street will take you directly into the city of Baltimore, located just give miles north of town. Along the route, check out major attractions like Middle Branch Park, Nick’s Fish House, and the Maryland Science Center.
