Four By Four

Four By Four is a neighborhood in the northeast region of the city and is defined by Sinclair Lane, North Gay Street, Cliftmont Avenue and Edison Highway. The neighborhood has a good mix of residential, commercial and educational uses. Homes here are typically attached single- family row homes, which are found in many parts of Baltimore as well as multifamily apartment buildings.

The Catholic High School of Baltimore is the only school located in Four By Four. Residents do not have any dedicated green space other that their own yards, but can enjoy the nearby Clifton Park. In addition, you will not find any public transportation options here. There are no places of worship with in the neighborhood. There is a set of railroad tracks along Sinclair Lane. Although there is a tree buffer along the tracks, residents should determine for themselves if the noise level is acceptable. On a positive note there is a large shopping center within the neighborhood, offering residents a number of shopping options. Restaurants are very limited, so residents will want to venture out to other neighborhoods for other options.

Like many neighborhoods in large cities, crimes against people and property can occur at any time and crime rates can vary from street to street and day to day. As always, check recent crime statistics to make an informed decision on any neighborhood you are considering living in or visiting.

I am not sure why I can not get excited about this neighborhood., but I am going to give it a pass.
