Where some see ruin
We see beauty
Our Hood
Parity Homes is launching in one of Baltimore's most culturally rich and historic African American neighborhoods. The community was economically diverse, where working class folks lived alongside skilled professionals like doctors and lawyers. Churches and businesses were abundant and thriving. The neighborhood was designed featuring some of the most expansive and generous parks and greenspace in the entire city.
The community flourished for decades until the early 1940's when a combination of redlining, housing segregation, discrimination in employment, "urban renewal", the disappearance of blue collar jobs, and the drug epidemic hit Black communities across the nation.
This is why one of our main principles is to do the work through a historic lens. We see past the boarded up buildings. We see a neighborhood rich with history that has suffered from systemic inequities. And we know that collectively we can restore our neighborhoods to what they once were.

More Than An Open House ...
In April, we opened the doors to one of our newly completed homes on North Carrollton Avenue, and more than a dozen people showed up. It was one of the most impactful open houses we’ve had. For many of our prospective buyers, this was the first time they didn’t have to imagine what a Parity home could look like. They could walk through it, touch it, and see it for themselves. From the finishes to the layout, everything felt real, and that made the possibility of homeownership feel closer.
Interested in knowing more about Parity Homes and what homeownership could look like for you? We’d love to walk you through the process. Let's talk!
