Upper Fells Point, also known as “Fells Prospect” was originally home to Baltimore’s dock workers. By the 1880s, canneries and factories provided employment to new immigrants, including Irish, Italians and Poles. Today its tidy brick rowhouses and tree-lined streets are home to both old-timers and young urban professionals. Upper Fells Point’s central location puts residents within walking distance of Patterson Park, the dining and nightlife of Fells Point, Little Italy and Canton, and Johns Hopkins Hospital. It is also just a water taxi ride from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor as well as Federal Hill.
