Middle East (renamed Eager Park in 2016-ish) resident. The A+ for nightlife means no human verified any of that. D- at best, only because the hotel bar is open on weekends. Mostly Hopkins affiliated young professionals and students. The McTownhomes by Ryan homes significantly raises the average home value. Best food is Kabobi, cheaper version of the Helmand (but not open weekends). Close proximity to Patterson Park, Butchers Hill, Fells Point - you can walk to them if you're not terrified of Baltimore city. Strongly agree with posters who mentioned redlining.

As I've dug more into this tonight, the nightlife ratings seem inflated nearly everywhere. Thank you for commenting and adding your input!

Very obviously true. Arcadia's write-up says "lots of bars." There are two, both in restaurants, and both close early. I love my 'hood, but nightlife is not its strength.

I did not think the new Eager Park boundaries matched Middle East. I thought the new "CARES" had a lot of overlap with Middle East. I used to live in Middle East. Also when I lived there 3 years ago, there were not very many Hopkins affiliated folks on my block or young professionals. It was almost all older homeowners. It changed rapidly when I lived there though. It was kind of depressing. I'm sure all the new construction have young professionals who didn't mind paying a lot for a not as well constructed rowhome.
