Highlandtown is located in southeast Baltimore and was founded in 1866 as Snake Hill. The name Highlandtown emerged a few years later because of the sweeping views of Baltimore City. Today, Highlandtown is a diverse community with a vibrant arts district and the inspirational setting for the movie and Broadway musical Hairspray. We are proud to be part of this terrific neighborhood.
