Greenspring mixes access to nature with urban convenience

As you enter Greenspring, hear the Eastern Bluebird's conversational warbles and the American Goldfinch's relaxing songs. Bordering over 100 acres of urban woodlands, Greenspring brings the serenity of nature to Baltimore City. Despite its quiet atmosphere and wealth of greenery, the neighborhood offers convenient access to city amenities and attractions. As Blake Batema of Garner + Co explains, “It’s a mix between being close to a lot of stuff and having a lot of beautiful scenery.”

Tree-lined blocks include homes with vintage and modern flair

Less than 5 miles from downtown and 4 miles from the Baltimore County line, the neighborhood balances two different ways of life. Inventory in the community mainly consists of row houses and duplexes that span city blocks, though the occasional street is sprinkled with single-family homes and a suburban feel. Trees shade the narrow sidewalks and compact lawns. Some homes feature recent paint jobs with vibrant front doors serving as a color pop, while others maintain their original early-to-mid 20th-century style. Turnkey two-bedroom homes cost between $123,000 and $220,000, while larger homes range from $170,000 to $360,000. To earn sweat equity, purchase a home in as-is condition for between $22,000 and $109,000.

Local museum and parks provide a mix of culture and outdoor fun

Before you settle in for the evening, make your way through Woodberry Woods to access Cold Spring Park, a connection point along the Jones Falls Trail. Walk along the 10-mile paved walkway to gander at fleabanes, wineberries and wild teasel. For additional recreational activities, head less than a mile south to Druid Hill. Across its 745 acres, the park includes a pool, tennis courts, disc golf, basketball courts, and a playground. On days when it’s too cold to be outside, experience African history right in the neighborhood at the Sankofa Children’s Museum of African Culture. Don’t be fooled by the name—with its interactive exhibits and musical performances, the museum brings entertainment and education for all ages.
