The steady growth of Station North
In Station North, residents feel the hum of creativity in their daily lives. This neighborhood was the first area in Baltimore to receive a state designation as an arts and entertainment district, and over the past few years there has been significant effort to encourage growth. “It’s become a much more fashionable neighborhood than even when I moved here 40 years ago,” says Francis O’Neill, reference librarian at the Maryland Center for History and Culture and Baltimore native of 40 years. “The influx of students from Johns Hopkins and the Maryland Institute College of Art has really helped bring the area some love and attention.” Where once there were bustling street cars and thriving businesses, students and artists weave in and out of studios and classrooms, attend festivals, grab coffee at On The Hill and watch movies at The Charles Theatre. “The neighborhood had really run down towards the middle of the 20th century,” O’Neill continues. “But there’s some life blossoming up again now.”
Station North is located in the heart of Baltimore City.

North Avenue and Charles Street serve as major shopping and dining hubs
The closest grocery store to Station North is the Save A Lot on Maryland Avenue. Locals can pick up necessities at the CVS one mile away on North Charles Street. North Avenue is the main hub of life in Station North, home to popular student haunts like the Station North Arts Cafe Gallery and lounging nightlife spots like The Club Car. The Charles Theatre also draws visitors from out of town. “The Charles started showing newsreels back in the ‘40s,” O’Neill says. “In the 1960s someone bought it and started playing movies, and now it’s a major film hub for all of Baltimore.” Club Charles, located across the street from the theater, has been a city-favorite dive bar for over 70 years. Recently, trendy restaurants like Foraged have cropped up, offering a menu that rotates with available in-season produce.
Built in 1892 The Charles Theatre is a wonderful night out for Station North residents.

The duality of Baltimore
Station North has a CAP Index Crime Score of 7, higher than the national average of 4. It is down the bus line from Baltimore’s largest methadone clinic, and the corner of North Avenue and Maryland Avenue has been popular with patients for years. The result is that many of Baltimore’s age-old scars are still visible among the attempted revitalization. “There are a lot of buildings there designed for commercial use, but it hasn’t quite taken off yet,” O’Neill says. “It’s kind of a battleground between the two types of life we see in Baltimore, and we’ve yet to see which will win.”
