Mount Clare is a historic neighborhood with a diverse atmosphere
Located in Southwest Baltimore, the community of Mount Clare is a densely populated urban community located just north of Carroll Park. Tracing its roots back to the early 19th century, many of the homes in Mount Clare were originally constructed to provide housing for the workers of the B&O Railroad. The neighborhood’s name is also derived from the railroad’s original terminal, Mount Clare Station.Today, Mount Clare offers prospective buyers “a very small-town feel,” says Jose Resendiz, Vice President of the Mount Clare Community Association. “Almost all the neighbors here know one another and we’re very welcoming. On my block, we have a potluck every Sunday where we watch the game and break bread together.” A diverse and communal neighborhood, Resendiz adds that he has neighbors from around the globe. “We have a Mosque, a large Latinx community, and a mix of everything in between. My neighbor across the street is Serbian/Yugoslavian, another neighbor is from Brazil, and a family from Senegal too. We’re truly a melting pot of cultures and ethnicities.”
Mount Clare features many beautiful murals through out the neighborhood.
