Street names and rowhomes define the neighborhood
About 5 miles north of downtown Baltimore, the neighborhood of Stonewood-Pentwood-Winston is a tiny community. It takes its name from the three main roads that run east to west, with one additional street near Morgan State University's student housing. “There’s a nice sense of community in and around it,” says Robert Breeden, team leader for The Breeden Team with Berkshire Hathaway. “There’s more desire to live in the area.” The neighborhood consists of Baltimore rowhomes, student housing for Morgan State University and the Northwood Appold United Methodist Church. While Morgan State sits across Hillen Road, student housing and private shuttles mean that residents remain mostly unaffected by university life. The neighborhood is also diagonally located from the Enoch Pratt Free Library-Northwood Branch.
The Stonewood-Penwood-Winston neighborhood is surrounded by lush greenery in the city.

Baltimore rowhomes and university housing
Stonewood-Pentwood-Winston homes often sit closer to the road, and while this area doesn't feature too many trees, the design does ensure that homes are plotted away from the curb, Stonewood-Pentwood-Winston homes often sit closer to the road. While this area doesn't feature too many trees, the design does ensure that homes are plotted away from the curb, featuring short sidewalks or stairways leading up to each entrance. Most of the trees are located between Pentwood Road and Morgan View, one of the student housing complexes, creating a natural barrier. “There’s a lot of renovation going on in and around the neighborhood,” says Breeden. “It’s adding in modern updates to the homes.” For homes that need interior renovations -- mainly to modernize the rowhome with newer appliances -- prices range from $130,000 to $170,000. A home that has already been renovated or doesn't need to be can range from $210,000 to $295,000. “Prices are more comparable in and around the Baltimore metro neighborhoods,” says Breeden. “And you get a nice yard with it.” The neighborhood has a one-way street and very few garages, leading most people to park along the road in front of their homes.

The housing in the inner cities of balitimore is not good unless you make tons of money. the government does not support the inner city, and they especially dont help uplift the black communities.
