An urban, residential enclave of north Baltimore
Johns Hopkins University, the MedStar Union Memorial Hospital and the Baltimore Museum of Art are all accessible by foot from Charles Village. A stroll through the neighborhood will reveal long stretches of authentic eateries on the ground floor of apartment buildings, outdoor dining patios and brick row houses under towering maple trees. In the morning, a rush of educators, artists and healthcare professionals walking to work fill the sidewalks. By nighttime, visitors from around the city come for a concert at the Ottobar or a meal on St. Paul Street. “Much of the energy here is thanks to its proximity to both Johns Hopkins University and the Baltimore Museum of Art.” says Realtor Daniel Motz with Berkshire Hathaway, who has worked in Baltimore for over 23 years. “Charles Village buyers seek out this neighborhood’s culturally rich, urban vibe.”While Charles Village has parks, shops and restaurants within the neighborhood, locals are also close to the downtown and Inner Harbor areas. “Additional reasons residents choose to live here include being right in the heart of Baltimore, close to a great professional sports scene, and of course, these well-updated historic homes.”

St. Paul Street has the largest cluster of restaurants in Charles Village, with cuisines hailing from India, Japan and Mexico. “Covid caused a lot of the old standards to shut down, and now newer restaurants with a twist are coming in,” says Realtor Michael Levine with Douglas Realty, who has worked in the area since 2006. One area classic is Charles Village Pub, which has been around since 1981 and provides American fare and cocktails until 2 A.M., seven days a week. Kajiken restaurant on 33rd Street serves authentic Japanese ramen, and Bird in Hand next door is a popular coffee shop with a bookstore inside. The Barnes & Noble/Johns Hopkins bookstore is also in the neighborhood and often hosts students and remote workers throughout the day. To catch live music, the long-standing Baltimore venue, Ottobar was named one of the 10 Best Live Music Venues in America by Rolling Stone. Locals visit Streets Market for prepared and frozen foods, and Safeway is just south of East 25th Street.

There are tiny parks here and there and the national and state parks are gorgeous, but the water, for example, near the inner Harbor, is murky and disgusting. People don't swim there.

I truly enjoy the area where I live and go to school. Many of the buildings are old and could be renovated, but are affordable and offer a decent quality of life

There are so many ugly row-houses that are falling apart. They are moldy, deteriorated, and crooked. I've seen more than a few houses that look as if they are literally sinking into the ground.
