1724 Gorsuch Avenue
Baltimore, MD 21218

This vacant lot located at 1724 Gorsuch Avenue is zoned B-1-2 ("certain types of businesses or dwellings"), and has huge development potential.

The property has great access to local amenities. The property is located less than 1000 feet from Clifton Park. Clifton Park contains sports fields, the Clifton Park Golf Course, Doris M. Johnson High School, and Heritage High School. Heading Northeast from the lot, you're only a few thousand feet to Baltimore City College, which is actually the country's third oldest high school. To the Northeast is Lake Montibello, which trails.com calls "a forested marvel surrounded by a mass of humanity." Baltimore's famous Inner Harbor is 2.6 miles to the south.

The zoning B-1-2 allows for certain types of businesses or dwellings. Baltimore is a city of townhouses, and the zoning allows for a mixed-use townhouse, which refers to a storefront on the ground level with apartments above. You could build a single-family townhouse as well. The only restriction by the city is that "anything you build must be at least 30 feet from the rear property line." All development questions should be verified with the Baltimore City planning office.

Baltimore's heavy construction and development, surging population, and affordable home prices make it an ideal market for investing. Per articles in the Baltimore Sun, analysts predict a large increase in jobs that will lead to a housing crunch in Baltimore over the next 4 years. Home values in the area have been steadily rising over the last ten years, just check out the nearby comps below. Even Ritz-Carlton is building condos in the inner harbor with prices starting at $1.2 million each. There a senior development less than a mile away called the Overlook at Stadium Place.
