Woodbourne Heights is known for its suburban homes, between MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital and Chinquapin Run Park. It’s also less than a mile from Belvedere Square Market, a hotspot for shopping and dining in north Baltimore. Students and staff may appreciate that the neighborhood is within a few miles of Morgan State University, Johns Hopkins University, and Loyola University Maryland.

Midcentury townhouses for sale and for rent

Postwar brick rowhouses are the main homes for sale around here. Homes usually have awning-covered patios and back-alley parking spaces. Prices range from the lower $200,000s to the upper $200,000s. “It’s definitely got starter homes, and it sometimes draws investors who want to flip for first-time buyers,” says Wayne Davis, a broker with United Real Estate Executives, with over 22 years of experience serving Maryland.

Easy access to parks, trails and open green space

For fresh air, the 76-acre Chinquapin Run Park sits in the backyards for a lot of residents. It has a playground, tennis courts, ball fields and a nature trail that snakes along the Chinquapin Stream Corridor, a stream with dense tree cover and plenty of greenery. Golfers are less than 2 miles from the public, 18-hole Mount Pleasant Golf Course, which once hosted the legendary Arnold Palmer back in 1956. The course sits within the larger Mount Pleasant Woods Park, which also has an ice arena for skating or youth hockey games.

In Woodbourne Heights, you’re within minutes of MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital, offering medical care in the area for over 50 years. Commuters can reach Towson after a 5-mile drive north, to shop at Towson Town Center or access Towson University, or drive 6 miles south to Downtown Baltimore or the Inner Harbor for work or leisure. CityLink and LocalLink buses stop along The Alameda and Loch Raven Boulevard, which border the neighborhood to the west and east. The neighborhood is within reach of several major institutions, with Morgan State University less than 2 miles east, Loyola University Maryland less than 2 miles west, and Johns Hopkins University about 3 miles south. “Closer to the schools, there are more rentals; this area, though, you see more home ownership,” says Davis.
