Coldspring champions nature and green spaces in a city setting

Botanists, arborists, and dendrophiles—aka tree enthusiasts—will love the neighborhood of Coldspring. Located in North Baltimore, west of I-83 and the Jones Falls Expressway, Coldspring is home to the Cylburn Arboretum. Featuring 200 acres of green spaces, forests and gardens, you’ll find trees of all shapes and sizes here. Explore among the magnolias, hollies, and cherry trees, walk beneath the crabapples and maples, or peruse the many small and large conifers. And a visit to the Dawn Redwood, an ancient tree species dating back to the time of the dinosaurs, is always awe-inspiring. Featuring gardens, a greenhouse collection, and the original landowner’s mansion at its center, this free public living museum is open year-round.

Diverse housing styles in Coldspring

Homes here are found within the planned community of Coldspring, and take the form of single-family homes, garden townhouses, condos and senior-living apartments. Designed in the 1970s as a “community within a park,” the first condominium building (1A) was designed as deck-style housing, showcasing the work of architect Moshe Safdie.

Waldorf School integrates arts into core academic subjects

Students here attend the nearby Waldorf School of Baltimore. The Waldorf School is a private co-ed elementary and middle school with a student population of nearly 125 students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grades. With a focus on building a foundation for life-long learning, this school promotes the integration of art, music, nature and movement into all academic subjects.

Residents enjoy trails, recreation areas and a meditation labyrinth

While the later condo buildings, townhomes and detached houses feature more traditional designs, all of Coldspring's options include access to this community’s many amenities. Play ball at the local baseball field, enjoy the calm of the local bird sanctuary, or walk the Coldspring 7-circuit meditation labyrinth. The area also offers membership to its 40-meter pool and tennis courts, as well as its rentable spaces at the Ruscombe Mansion Community Center. Residents can also enjoy the nearby Jones Falls Trail, which spans from Mount Washington through Coldspring and into Downtown. The perfect spot to bike, walk or jog you can even take a detour through the Cylburn for additional sights.

Nearby neighborhoods offer plenty of shopping and restaurant options

For additional entertainment, shopping, and dining options, residents can hop onto Interstate 83 and be in one of the surrounding neighborhoods, like Hampden, Mount Washington, and Roland Park in just a few minutes time.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.
