Multi family houses in Baltimore

[Alex Wong]

I have been trying to find multi family houses (duplexes, triplexes) in Baltimore city but I am having some issues. It appears that there are many townhouses around, and when there is duplex for sales, only one side of the duplex is for sale (as in the duplex has two owners, not one). Am I missing something or not searching correctly?

2-4 unit properties exist in only the smallest numbers throughout the entire region. Baltimore, DC, Northern Virginia etc just do not have the number of multis that other areas of the country have. 2-4 unit properties throughout the northeast were typically built to provide cheaper housing to working class immigrant populations..but DC for instance did not start to become a major metro area till 100-150 years after the other northeastern cities...and Baltimore in order to provide affordable housing went the ground rent route as opposed to multifamily housing.
