Saint Joseph’s is a small, residential neighborhood in Southwest Baltimore. This triangular pocket feels distinctly urban, with brick rowhouses, sidewalks and cars parked along the curb. But when you want to spend time outdoors, it’s a short drive to the more than 1,000-acre Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park. Commutes toward Downtown Baltimore are also convenient, thanks to nearby main roads and bus lines.
In Saint Joseph’s, you’ll mostly find brick rowhomes from the early 1900s. Covered front porches, formal foyers, hardwood floors and generously sized rooms are common traits. Some homes also have decorative columns, classic staircases and decorative fireplace surrounds. The neighborhood’s median sale price is around $130,000, with prices typically ranging from the mid-$60,000s to the mid-$200,000s, depending on size, age and condition. Renovated homes with quartz countertops, updated baths and finished basements sit alongside properties with original hardwood floors and details that may need updating.
Saint Joseph’s is about 5 miles from Downtown Baltimore, and there are several ways to navigate the city and the larger region. Here’s the transportation information that you should know:
Baltimore City Public Schools serves the neighborhood. In the district, elementary school assignments are address-based, and Saint Joseph’s students can attend Mary E. Rodman Elementary School. For middle and high school, there’s a citywide school choice process.
Mount Saint Joseph High School is a nearby private option. Founded in 1876, the all-boys Catholic school has a notable presence in Southwest Baltimore and offers athletics and arts programs, campus ministry and community service opportunities alongside rigorous academics. “We as a school have been around since 1876, so we’ve seen a lot of legacy families come through,” says Joseph Schuberth, director of marketing and communications at Mount Saint Joseph High School. “We’re happy to have them continue that tradition. But it’s also nice to see new people come into the area from the city and county to create their own legacies.”
In the neighborhood, Saint Joseph’s Park is a small grassy area within walking distance of some homes. For more extensive outdoor activity, the Gwynns Falls Trail, which stretches for more than 20 miles, is nearby. The trail follows the Gwynns Falls stream and links parks, historical sites and the city's business district. You can find a trailhead on Frederick Avenue and follow the trail into Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park, which has tennis courts, a community garden and baseball, football and soccer fields.
Residents travel outside of the neighborhood to shop and dine. Within the immediate surrounding area, you’ll find convenience stores, carryout businesses and small neighborhood services. Here’s where you can go for larger shopping trips or to eat out:
