Washington Village, long known as Pigtown, is a historic working-class neighborhood just southwest of downtown with a strong sense of identity. Centered on a revitalizing stretch of Washington Boulevard, the area mixes classic Baltimore rowhouses with locally owned restaurants, bars, and shops that reflect its community roots. Its quirky annual Pigtown festival celebrates the neighborhood's heritage with a lighthearted street party, and its proximity to the stadiums, the B&O Railroad Museum, and downtown keeps it well connected. Affordable and authentic, Washington Village/Pigtown offers a genuine neighborhood experience for visitors curious about Baltimore beyond the waterfront.
