Federal Hill stretches from South Hanover Street on the west to the waterfront on the east, and is home to just over 2,500 residents. The neighborhood is named for the large hill that marks its southern edge, and serves as a park with excellent views of the Inner Harbor.

That education also translates to excellent earning power, as Federal Hill's median income of $99,660 is in line with the best in Maryland. Home values in Federal Hill are also among the best in the city. It's a popular spot for families, with family homes making up just over 40 percent of all residences.
Federal Hill's schools are well-regarded overall, with a nice mix of public and private options.

The list of nearby colleges is more than extensive, but a few favorites include Towson University, University of Baltimore, Morgan State University, and Johns Hopkins University.
With such a strong level of educational attainment, it likely comes as no surprise that Federal Hill residents tend to work in skilled professional fields.
