Located only a mile from the Johns Hopkins University, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and the many cafes, boutiques, and eateries of the greater Charles Village, Remington and Waverly areas, residents have endless options for entertainment and fun. Heading south in the opposite direction, residents are also only one mile from Penn Station, where they can catch the MARC train heading into D.C. for quick and easy commutes.
