Living in Baltimore
Due to the challenging and rewarding opportunity provided by the Baltimore City Teaching Residency, many candidates residing outside of Baltimore, and outside of Maryland, are drawn to this area. The city of Baltimore is an incredibly diverse, exciting place, with a rich history, and would love to be the new home for future Resident Teachers from across the country.
Baltimore offers an array of exciting opportunities to all who choose to make the city their home. Whether enjoying a world-class music festival at the famous Pimlico Race Course or experiencing American history at landmarks such as
Ft.McHenry, Baltimore has something to offer everyone. The rejuvenated Inner Harbor also includes many fun options including the National Aquarium, which is one of the largest aquariums in the world. Baltimore is also well known for its museums, vibrant performing arts community, professional sports teams, many strong universities, and restaurants. Baltimore also represents one of the most affordable urban areas in which to live
throughout the
mid-Atlantic region and the east coast.
