The Buying into Baltimore home buying fair is an excellent opportunity for our military relocatees to see neighborhoods in Baltimore City in a positive and informative way, to visit a great cross section of homes for sale and learn more about living in Baltimore City. Baltimore City is about 20 miles north of Ft. Meade and about 30 miles south of Aberdeen Proving Ground and close to many National Guard locations throughout the City and neighboring communities.
