Upper Fells Point Selected as Best Neighborhood in the City Paper

"It's no Federal Hill or Hampden or Charles Village, this East Baltimore neighborhood. Indeed, it's nothing like its immediate neighbor to the south, Fells Point, nor is it anything like its adjacent sister Canton. It's got but one eclectic tavern within its bounds (Henninger's Tavern, that is), and its main business thoroughfare, Broadway between Eastern Avenue and Lombard Street, lacks the kitschy storefronts and boutique shopping that draw people to other areas of the city.
But that's why we love Upper Fells Point: It's got a hardscrabble exterior, a booming Latino community, a dash of the old-school Baltimore that's being edged out in most of the city's up-and-coming environments. You don't come here, necessarily, to shop, nor do you come here to hang out (though we must say, it is kind of nice to sit on the park benches along the median strip on Broadway and watch the world go by) and stroll. Chances are, if you're hanging out here, you live here. Or you want to live here because you don't need sushi or a gourmet grocery or a strip of trendy bars to make you fall in love with your neighborhood. All you need is what Upper Fells Point has got- -a diverse population, a bunch of good taquerias at which you can get your good, cheap food fix, some mom-and-pop corner stores, and some solid neighbors who keep an eye out for trouble on their streets after dark. That's what Upper Fells Point is about."

Dating back to the mid 1800's, Upper Fells Point provided a higher ground on which Baltimore's dock workers resided.  Today, our neighborhood reflects a rich diversity in ethnicity and cultures.

Bordered by Broadway on the west, Washington St on the east, Eastern Ave. on the south, and Lombard St on the north; Upper Fells Point's prime location provides convenient access to 83, 95, and is within walking distance to the serene placidity of Patterson Park, the nightlife and shopping of Fells Point and Canton, and the highly esteemed Johns Hopkins.

Our neighborhood association strives to improve the lives and environment of it's community. Working with local government, businesses, and other organizations, the Upper Fells Point Improvement Association tackles issues that concern it's residents...and sets the foundation for future growth.
