Pigtown is great! Is it definitely an up and coming town in Baltimore.
There are crimes here and there but the community is going a really good job with having more of a police presence and a strong community.
They have been building so much in the area, and I am excited for more to come.

Don't let the optimistic reviews fool you... while pigtown may not be too dangerous for Baltimore, coming from literally any other city as a young professional, it's very dangerous and frightening to live here. There are shootings every other week, and no matter how much they gentrify the area crime will always leak in from further west. If you truly want to live in a normal neighborhood, go to canton, hampden, or south Baltimore/Riverside.
Pigtown has a lot going for it! Commute wise you are close to Downtown, the Beltway, I-95, and Marc Camden line. A new bike share program is now in place on Washington Blvd and makes it even more accessible to hop over to neighborhoods like Federal Hill, Mt. Vernon, and Harbor East. Within the last year, Pigtown has welcomed two great new bars Pigtown Ale House, Old Major, &new Brewery. Businesses are moving in fast and are staying, new restaurants like Breaking Bread and Culinary Architecture- there are more plans for new restaurants on Washington Blvd. Within a 20-25 minute walk, you could be doing laps in Carroll Park, biking the Gwynn's Fall trail or partaking in Free Yoga on the Inner Harbor. I have had no issues staying active in this neighborhood. we lucked out and our block is amazing! There are blocks in Pigtown that still suffer from the drug trade, but there group of residents determined to make this less prevalent.
