West Arlington Homes for Rent

West Arlington in Baltimore, originally farmland from the 1700s, evolved into a suburban neighborhood by the 1800s, marked by the iconic water tower that still stands today. Located 8 miles from downtown Baltimore and 2 miles from the county border, it features a variety of detached homes, including colonial and Cape Cod styles, with sizes ranging from 1,000 to 4,000 square feet. Architectural diversity reflects the neighborhood's phased growth, with unique elements like spires, dormer windows, and bay windows. Residents can enjoy Penhurst Park, a tree-lined field with a playground and horseshoe pit, located near the water tower. For daily errands, Northwest Plaza offers Harvest Fare Supermarket and Rite Aid Pharmacy, while Reisterstown Road Plaza, less than 2 miles away, includes national retailers like Home Depot, Planet Fitness, and Giant Food, along with dining options such as Applebee’s. Public transit options include bus and subway services, with the Rogers Ave Metro just half a mile away, facilitating easy access to downtown Baltimore and Owings Mills.
