Mayfield’s motto is A Hamlet in the Heart of Town, and with historic homes situated on just 16 city blocks, the community embraces that feeling. “There are quite a few families here where the children grow up and then buy a home in the neighborhood,” says Tom Rybczynski, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker who has been selling homes in East Baltimore for over 29 years. “There are only three through streets in Mayfield, so it keeps the community quiet.” The neighborhood’s tree-lined streets are bordered by nature on three sides, offering a secluded, residential enclave just 5 miles east of Interstate 95.
Mayfield is a beautiful neighborhood on the outskirts of Baltimore.

Storied homes reflect Baltimore’s history
Mayfield is listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to its architectural diversity. “The homes bring character to Baltimore and define who the city is as a whole,” says William Savage, a Broker with Keller Williams who has over 17 years of experience in real estate. The neighborhood was built in three phases, with the oldest homes built between Lake Montebello and Hartford Road around the late 19th century. Homes in this area include wood-shingled Victorians with spacious, wrap-around porches, stained glass windows and lakefront views. The neighborhood expanded further east in the early 20th century with the construction of single-family homes and semi-detached homes. Homebuyers in this area will find American Four-Squares, Colonial Revivals, Tudors and Bungalows spaced along lots with an average size of about a quarter acre. South of Lake Montebello, traditional rowhomes and townhomes feature red brick exteriors and small porticos. Prices range from around $150,000 for a three-bedroom rowhome to $435,000 for a four-bedroom Colonial-style home.

Miles of trails and acres of green space surround Mayfield
Mayfield is tucked between Lake Montebello, Clifton Park and Herring Run Park. “It feels like you’re deep in the country,” Rybczynski says. Lake Montebello sits just north of Mayfield, and residents can walk, bike or run along the one-and-a-half-mile loop surrounding the lakefront. Clifton Park is the former estate of Johns Hopkins, and locals can tour the historic Clifton Mansion, browse the five-acre Mother’s Garden or play a round of golf on the park’s 18-hole course. On the other side of the neighborhood is Herring Run Park, which features three playgrounds, a basketball court and a system of multi-use trails.
Herring Run Park in Mayfield has 375 acres to explore.

Baltimore City Public School District offers school choice

Interstate 95 provides access to Washington, D.C.
Residents are less than 5 miles north of downtown Baltimore. The Maryland Transit Administration provides local bus service to the community, with Route 54 making several stops along Hartford Road. An access point to Interstate 95 is about 5 miles east, making it easier to traverse the 50 miles south to Washington, D.C. With the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, commutes on the Baltimore Beltway will be impacted. “You’ll have to go all the way around to get to the other side, which could add about an additional hour to your travel time,” Savage says. The Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport is about 18 miles south of Mayfield.
Proximity to Johns Hopkins Hospital
Johns Hopkins Hospital is about 3 miles south. The award-winning hospital features a Level I trauma center and is a research facility for the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
St. John's University is located very close to Mayfield.
