Have a game and a smile
Just three miles from M&T Bank Stadium and Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Lexington residents are perfectly positioned to make their way over to an Orioles baseball game or a Ravens Football game. CityLink bus into downtown makes it an easy trip. Another two miles east and they are at the Waterfront Promenade for a relaxing walking along the harbor.West Baltimore and West Franklin bringing the busyness
Lexington’s location near the center of Baltimore makes it ideal for getting downtown. However, it also presents a mixed bag when it comes to transportation and commuter traffic. North Warwick, Route 1, West Baltimore Street and the east-west running West Franklin Street are important arteries for local and through traffic, so traffic can become notably heavier during rush hours and congestion there should be expected. MTA operates bus service through the neighborhood, primarily along Pulaski Street and Baltimore Street providing a transportation alternative for residents who commute.

Superb medical care
For the essentials Lexington has several mini-marts and convenience stores, plus a Walgreens pharmacy close. For groceries, the historic Lexington Market is only a short bus ride away. Residents can visit there to pick up fresh produce, meats, seafood and poultry, or simply to grab a bite to eat. Another benefit of living in Lexington being located only minutes away from Grace Medical Center Hospital (formerly Bon Secours Hospital) and campus. Featuring a state-of-the-art emergency room with 69 beds and a behavioral health center, residents have direct access to care just blocks away.
