Located in the Barre Circle neighborhood in SW Baltimore, this house is a particular eyesore, as the surrounding homes were redeveloped 20+ years ago as part of Baltimore’s successful Dollar House program. It’s such a shame to see blight creeping into this charming neighborhood of rowhomes and grassy common areas. Unfortunately, the home’s current owner doesn’t have a great track record as an “investor” — multiple foreclosures, civil suits, etc. Hopefully the neighborhood can band together and get rid of this nuisance before he purchases more property in the area.
