Baltimore has the highest home insurance rates in Maryland—averaging 19% above the state average—because of several factors. The city has a high concentration of older homes with outdated systems that are expensive to repair or replace. Urban flooding risk from aging infrastructure and proximity to the Chesapeake Bay increases claims. Row houses and attached properties create shared-structure risks. Plus, higher crime rates in some neighborhoods drive up premiums for theft and vandalism coverage.
Yes, you should strongly consider it even if you're not waterfront. More than 20% of flood insurance claims come from moderate-to-low risk areas. Baltimore's aging sewer systems and urban infrastructure mean that heavy rainfall can cause flooding anywhere in the city, not just near the harbor or rivers. A separate flood policy costs around $119-$540 per year, which is far less than the thousands you'd pay out-of-pocket for flood damage your regular homeowners policy won't cover.
Water backup coverage protects you when water backs up through your drains, toilets, or sump pump—common in Baltimore due to aging sewer infrastructure. This is an endorsement you add to your regular homeowners policy for about $40-$100 per year. Flood insurance covers water that comes from outside your home—like rising water from storms, rivers, or urban flooding—and requires a separate federal policy. In Baltimore, you likely need both types of protection.
It depends on the situation. If your neighbor's negligence causes damage to your property—like their unattended candle starts a fire that spreads—their liability insurance should cover your damages. However, your own policy's dwelling coverage will typically kick in first to repair your home, then your insurer may pursue your neighbor's insurance company for reimbursement. This is why maintaining adequate dwelling coverage is critical for row house owners, even when damage originates elsewhere.
Many standard insurers will either deny coverage or charge significantly higher premiums for homes with knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized steel pipes, or other outdated systems. Some will offer coverage only if you agree to update these systems within a specified timeframe—typically 30 to 90 days. Your best bet is to get these systems inspected before buying and factor upgrade costs into your offer. Alternatively, seek out insurers that specialize in older or historic properties and have more flexible underwriting standards.
Your dwelling coverage should be based on the cost to rebuild your home—not its market value or what you paid for it. For Baltimore row houses, especially historic ones with unique features, rebuilding costs often exceed market value due to specialized materials, craftsmanship, and shared-wall construction. Get a professional replacement cost estimate and consider guaranteed or extended replacement cost coverage that provides 125-150% of your dwelling limit. This protects you if reconstruction costs are higher than expected.
