A suburban community in a central Northeast Baltimore location
Named after two of its intersecting streets, the Moravia-Walther neighborhood mostly consists of residential properties, tucked away in a quiet suburb of Northeast Baltimore. Sharing a border with the Hamilton-Lauraville area, known for its array of shopping and dining options, locals have plenty of nearby activities to choose from. “One of the best things about Moravia-Walther is the surrounding communities,” says Marc Hagerthey, long-time area resident and Realtor with RE/MAX Components. A walk down Harford Road leads to shopping centers, locally owned businesses and restaurants. Morgan State University, Herring Run Park and Lake Montebello are a few of the many other attractions within about 1 mile. Homebuyers searching in Baltimore often choose Moravia-Walther for its CAP Index Crime Score of 3, which is significantly lower than other parts of the city. With an active neighborhood improvement association, residents prioritize safety and collaboration through fundraisers, holiday parties and community cleanups.
