Violetville Homes for Rent

Violetville, a southwestern neighborhood in Baltimore, is known for its midcentury townhouses and single-family homes, offering a quiet, insulated retreat while still being close to the city. The neighborhood is bordered by St. Agnes Hospital, industrial buildings, and Interstate 95, creating a private segment within the city. Homes here are primarily solidly built brick houses from the 1950s, featuring real hardwood floors, covered front porches, and backyards suitable for small gardens. Common home styles include cottages, ranch-styles, and Modern Traditional builds. Violetville Park serves as the communal backyard, with a pollinator garden, soccer fields, and a recently updated basketball court. The Friends of Violetville Park association organizes community events like the Spring Fling Party. Residents benefit from easy access to major highways, with Interstate 95 leading to downtown Baltimore 5.5 miles north, and Interstate 695 providing a quick route to Baltimore Washington International Airport 8 miles south. Local amenities include grocery shopping at Weis Markets and Giant, both within 2 miles, and casual dining options. Nick’s Crab Market is a popular spot for summertime crab feasts, while Rheb’s Candies offers homemade sweets. Violetville is just 5.5 miles from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, making it convenient for enjoying Orioles games, concerts at Power Plant Live!, and the Maryland Science Center’s IMAX theater. The University of Maryland, Baltimore County is also nearby, providing additional cultural and entertainment options.
