Greenmount West Roofers
Are you looking for a roofing contractor in Baltimore’s Greenmount West neighborhood?
Greenmount West in North Baltimore is the residential section of Baltimore’s Station North Arts and Entertainment District. The rapidly revitalizing neighborhood draws many young artists and commuters to renovated rowhomes, artist housing and apartments. From checking out the latest art gallery exhibit to new music venue or restaurant, residents enjoy no shortage of things to do.
The neighborhood was one of many affected by the Baltimore riot of 1968. For years, the area suffered from urban decay, housing abandonment and crime, but in recent times the area has experienced a resurgence. Artists have created live/work space in the sprawling former Crown Cork and Seal factory buildings (commonly known as the Copycat Building) along the railroad tracks. Small developers are rehabbing the two and three story rowhouses for market rate homeownership. Pocket parks like McAllister Park, Hunters Lot and Brentwood Commons were created in the area, and the neighborhood’s 2002 designation as an Arts and Entertainment District further catalyzed development. The real estate bubble of the 2000s caused Baltimore’s housing prices to skyrocket, and drove home buyers seeking out cheaper areas on the upswing to the neighborhood.
