Biddle Street Homes for Rent

Biddle Street in East Baltimore is a historic, densely populated neighborhood with roots dating back to the 1850s. The area saw significant growth post-World War I, blending industrial and residential spaces. The neighborhood features traditional Baltimore row homes built between 1890 and 1940, showcasing Italianate, Renaissance revival, and colonial revival styles with brown-brick and red-brick facades. The community is transitioning, with older residents moving out and young professionals, often associated with nearby Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, moving in. Biddle Street is walkable, with local shops like M&P Grocery and Garcia Mini Market, and larger stores at Erdman Shopping Center. Historic landmarks include the Gothic-style Greater Gethsemane Missionary Baptist Church with its early 1930s mosaics. Eager Park, built by Johns Hopkins Hospital, offers splash fountains, a communal garden, and a playground. Commuting is convenient with Penn Station’s MARC rail, CityLink buses, and a 20-minute drive to Downtown Baltimore. The Inner Harbor, with attractions like the National Aquarium, is also nearby. The neighborhood is safer than the national average and benefits from the Historic East Baltimore Community Action Coalition’s services.
