A bustling riverfront oasis filled with eateries and parks

Riverfront Commuter Park-Like Trendy Entertainment Urban

Canton is a harborside neighborhood centered around O’Donnell Square Park that’s surrounded by lively sports bars, gastropubs, dessert shops, and seafood joints. Seafood is even more popular along the busy waterfront promenade, where you’ll find crab shacks, oyster bars, and New American restaurants. This bustling neighborhood sits on the Patapsco River across from the Fort McHenry National Monument. Residents enjoy visiting Canton Waterfront Park for its pristine grounds, waterfront views, and access to the ferry. Although there is plenty to do without leaving town, the Shops at Canton Crossing sit just outside of Canton, offering residents a great place to shop and dine. Locals can easily reach Patterson Park on the northern edge of town that features an observatory, playgrounds, a dog park, and a seasonal pool and ice rink. Downtown Baltimore sits just two miles west of Canton, so commuters can easily get to and from the heart of the city for work or play.
