Historic Baltimore suburb with lush greenery and close amenities

Resembling a picture straight out of a fairytale, Cedarcroft is a historic neighborhood in north Baltimore home to old-growth trees, sloping streets and cozy residences. “My favorite thing about Cedarcroft is the Sycamores,” says Mike Fielder, a Realtor with the Key Home Team of Berkshire Hathaway, who’s been selling homes nearby for nearly a decade. Forming an archway of tree canopy along many of the community’s streets, mature sycamores add a sense of majestic awe to the Cedarcroft community and offer a cooling shade during the summer months, an air of privacy and plenty of natural ambiance.

The streets in Cedarcroft neighborhood are very engaging with the tree life surrounding you.

Wide variety of home styles from the 1800s and 1900s

Comprised of detached single-family homes in a variety of styles, most homes in Cedarcroft were built between the mid-19th and 20th centuries. Spanning several decades and capturing multiple architectural styles, the neighborhood offers Dutch colonials with barn-like gambled roofs, Tudors with exposed wooden timbers and minimalist bungalow and Cape Cod styles. “People love the neighborhood’s unique cedar-shake-sided homes,” says Fielder. The average housing cost here ranges from $500,000 to $700,000, depending on the size, age and condition of the property. Homes at the lower price point tend to be three-bedroom, ranch-style homes; while those on the higher end tend to offer double the square footage, two-car garages, and ample yard space. Homes here are well spaced out and are linked by a series of public sidewalks.
