Harwood Homes for Rent

Harwood, a vibrant neighborhood in north Baltimore, has seen significant growth over the past decade. Known for its colorful mosaics and murals, Harwood features a strong community association that organizes monthly meetings, neighborhood clean-ups, barbeques, and a community garden. Housing in Harwood consists exclusively of row houses, with architectural styles ranging from simple red-brick and stone facades to bowed exteriors with bay windows and large roofed front porches. These medium-sized, three-bedroom homes often include high ceilings and some even have finished basements. The neighborhood is highly walkable, located just a mile from Johns Hopkins University, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and the cafes, boutiques, and eateries of Charles Village, Remington, and Waverly.
