Why Our Residents Love Baltimore

 

The Baltimore Inner Harbor

Living in Baltimore

Conveniently located between D.C. and Annapolis, Baltimore is a vibrant hub of culture, arts, cuisine and community, as well as a hotspot for healthcare and biotech innovation – that's why so many Sinai residents end up making Charm City their forever home. Baltimore offers all the benefits of a major metropolitan city, but with a unique “Smalltimore” charm beloved by lifelong locals and newcomers alike.

"... Baltimore has a quirky character all its own. Just ask its denizens, who will tell you just how great Charm City is without engaging in a show of one-upmanship."

There are dozens of suburban enclaves just minutes from Sinai’s campus as well.

It all starts at the Inner Harbor, a vibrant waterfront destination for shopping, dining, and home to the National Aquarium. But there is so much more to explore, from the unexpected (the National Museum of Dental History!) to all-star spectacles (Baltimore Ravens and Orioles games!).
