Brick rowhouses built from the mid-19th century through the end of World War II stand near a handful of new construction. Home prices range from the upper $100,000s to the mid-$600,000s, varying by square footage, remodel status and home age. There are slightly more renters than homeowners in Hampden; rentals are typically found in rowhouses or in newer apartment complexes, such as those located at The Rotunda. “It’s not really too much of a campus area. It might have people who work at the university, but there isn’t really student housing specifically,” says James Baldwin, a Realtor with Compass with over 18 years of experience serving Maryland. “It’s more known for its early 1900s Baltimore classic rowhouses, many of which have been remodeled.”
