BALTIMORE—In an effort to revitalize several distressed areas of the city, a coalition of local real estate developers announced ambitious plans Monday to rebrand Baltimore's historic Murder Heights district.
Realtor Leah Regan said other names considered included "Maple Point" and "Murder Heights Village."
"This community has rebounded tremendously in recent years, and we feel the name Murder Heights—due in part, perhaps, to the neighborhood's somewhat checkered past—may carry with it some negative connotations," said local builder Lawrence Vitali, speaking to reporters from the construction site of an upcoming condominium complex.
