Idlewood Homes for Rent

Idlewood, a suburban neighborhood about 20 minutes north of Baltimore, is known for its mature oak and maple trees that shade the sidewalks and residential streets. The area primarily features traditional Baltimore row houses and semi-detached townhomes with two-story red brick designs, small roofed front porches, and fenced-in backyards. Residents enjoy a strong sense of community, with organized walks and events facilitated by the Idlewood Community Association. The neighborhood is centrally located between Chinquapin Run Park and Mt Pleasant Woods Park, both within walking distance and offering features such as hiking trails, athletic fields, and playgrounds. Mt Pleasant Woods Park also includes an 18-hole public golf course and an ice arena. Overlook Park to the north provides additional recreational space. Idlewood is commuter-friendly, with several MTA bus stops along Loch Raven Boulevard and The Alameda, the latter leading to downtown Baltimore in about 6 miles. While there are no grocery stores directly in Idlewood, nearby options include Giant at Ravenwood Shopping Center and York Road Plaza, as well as ShopRite, Eddies, and Shoppers. Belvedere Square Market on the west side offers a food court, boutiques, and hosts events like the Summer Sounds concert series. Dining options include Colin’s Seafood and Grill. Additionally, the neighborhood benefits from an active community association that organizes neighborhood cleanups and social events to keep residents informed and connected.
