What: Highlandtown’s Arts District, anchored by the Creative Alliance on Eastern Avenue, has become a hotspot for both seasoned and emerging artists. This space, formerly the Sons of Italy Lodge and then the Y-Art gallery, is ripe to start anew. The double-width building, which extends nearly the depth of the block, fronts on Gough Street, just off of Eastern Avenue.

The first floor has a huge art gallery, a sunny retail space with wooden floors, an in-house bar, studio space, all of which lead to the owner’s residence, filled with quirky charm, loads of space and light, a fireplace and a private patio. There is also a private garage so that you never have to worry about parking.

There are two apartments on the second floor. Both are currently leased, providing a regular income stream. All three of the residential spaces have private laundry facilities.

Where: Highlandtown is just east of Patterson Park, and is home to numerous ethnic restaurants and bodegas, the Creative Alliance, small mom & pop shops, and much more. It’s about ten minutes along Eastern Avenue to Fells Point and Little Italy to the west, and to the east, ten minutes to I-95. All that Canton has to offer is just south of Highlandtown.
