The northeastern hills of Baltimore
Hamilton Hills, often simply referred to as Hamilton, is a quiet suburb in northeast Baltimore. The neighborhood is an intriguing mix of residential streets and local businesses, many of which have grown from the community to become Baltimore staples. It’s the kind of place where neighbors call each other friends. “Families like to live there because it’s in the city, but it is very much a suburban neighborhood,” says Brian DiNardo, a Realtor with Garner and Co. who has lived in the city since 2001. “That pretty much describes it. John Waters uses Hamilton all the time as the quintessential Baltimore community.”
Home in Hamilton Hills
Prospective homeowners can choose from a variety of styles present in Hamilton Hills. “There are some classic Baltimore brick row houses,” DiNardo says. “But there are other options that give it a truly suburban feel.” These options include American Foursquares, bungalows, barn-like Dutch Colonials and even a few Tudor Revivals, many of which are detached and feature front and back yards. Home prices typically begin around $200,000 and can climb as high as $400,000 depending on lot size and build year. Some townhouses have also been converted into duplexes, which begin around $290,000 for a three-bedroom unit.
Rows of bright colored Four Square homes bring a lot of character to the Hamilton neighborhood.

Hungry in Hamilton
Several convenience stores and mini marts are available along Harford Road, where residents can also shop for groceries at Safeway. Big Lots is 1 mile north, as is Home Depot. Harford Road is also home to Zeke’s Coffee, Baltimore’s favorite homegrown coffee merchant. Just down the road, another Charm City icon awaits. “I moved here in 2001. I’d had crabcakes before. Then I ate a crab cake at Koco’s Pub,” DiNardo says. “It was a revelatory experience, like when you have your first cheesesteak in Philly. Koco’s is the kind of place where anyone can go and feel comfortable.”

Herring Run Park
When they need time beneath the sun, residents can head 3 miles south across the Morgan State University campus to Lake Montebello. Folks get their steps in on the 1.5-mile loop around this reservoir or play disc golf on the 18-hole course. Herring Run Park offers a more relaxed atmosphere, with several miles of trails wandering through a dense urban woodland in the heart of Charm City. The neighborhood also borders Mount Pleasant Golf Course, so golf enthusiasts can swing away on this public fairway that also features an ice rink.
Enjoy scenic water views of Lake Montebello, just a short drive from Hamilton.
Mt Pleasant Golf Course is where Arnold Palmer secured his second win on the Pro Golf Tour.
