Colorful streets and strong community ties define Harwood
Welcome to colorful, close-knit Harwood! A small, energetic neighborhood in north Baltimore, this community has grown tremendously over the past decade. “Ten years ago, Harwood was mostly vacant,” explains Melvin Knight, a lifetime resident of Baltimore and Realtor with Coldwell Banker. “Today, it’s a nice affordable, stable neighborhood.” Featuring mosaics and murals adorning this area’s homes and streets, plus a strong community association which hosts monthly meetings and events like neighborhood clean-ups, barbeques, and a community garden, it’s clear that residents of Harwood care about their homes and each other.While residents of Harwood may not have front and back yards, they do have urban conveniences, like walkability. 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.
Many homes in Harwood have colorful mosaics adding to Harwood's vibrant community feel.
