Baltimore, MD -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/08/2015 -- Ron Howard & Associates of RE/MAX Preferred announced the launch of a new, informational site focusing on the city's historic Canton neighborhood and the real estate to be found there. With Canton's striking revitalization continuing apace, more people than ever before are looking to move to the fascinating, seaside neighborhood. Located at Canton-Realtor.com, the new site provides everything those interested in Canton will want to know, from the names and locations of the best bars and restaurants to how to find highly desirable properties.

"Today's Canton is the most attractive iteration yet of a neighborhood with a history that stretches back for hundreds of years," Ron Howard & Associates founder Ron Howard noted, "As the industrial sites that formerly prevailed have given way to many of the city's hottest restaurants and nightclubs, Canton is the place to be in Baltimore. We're happy to announce that our new site will serve as a one-stop destination for those looking to learn about what Canton has to offer."

Canton's history as a distinct part of Baltimore began in the late 18th century, when an Irish businessman named John O'Donnell established a plantation there. Having made a fortune trading out of the Chinese port then known in English as Canton, though now referred to as Guangzhou, O'Donnell gave his plantation the same name.

After O'Donnell passed on, the plantation was sold off and developed, becoming a popular stop-over for hard-working immigrants who were trying to get established. With the former plantation turning into a busy, vibrant residential and industrial area, the name "Canton" hung on, as it still does today.

Today's Canton, of course, is a very different place from what prevailed through most of the area's history. With a large supply of charming, late-19th and early-20th century row houses, the area has become a prime destination for young professionals and everyone interested in fun, complete urban living. At Ron Howard & Associates' new Canton-focused site, those thinking about putting down roots in the neighborhood can learn everything there is to know about it.

Having become a major destination for the city's most talented chefs and most visionary restaurateurs, for example, Canton boasts an impressive concentration of top-notch dining. At http://canton-realtor.com/canton-restaurants/, the new Ron Howard & Associates website delves into the whole range of what can be found there.

The neighborhood has become just as well known for its nightlife, with many now naming it one of the most exciting parts of Baltimore in this respect. The new website includes a helpful overview of the most popular bars and nightclubs at http://canton-realtor.com/canton-bars/, along with recommendations for those looking for something quieter and more secluded.

Visitors to the website will also discover plenty of tips about securing the services of a capable, experienced canton baltimore realtor. With a wealth of information there already and many updates planned, the new Ron Howard & Associates website is the best source of all for those looking to learn more about one of Baltimore's most fascinating neighborhoods.
