With Baltimore’s hippest areas a stone’s throw away, Towanda-Grantley blends big city amenities and suburban living.
Located about 4 miles from downtown Baltimore, the neighborhood mainly comprises row houses and duplexes, though single-family homes occasionally hit the market. Unlike surrounding areas, many homes include enclosed front porches with vibrant awnings. Turnkey attached homes cost between $145,000 and $225,000, nearly $100,000 below the median price in areas like Hampden. Detached homes range from $232,000 to $300,000. “The neighborhood looks like it’s trying to turn around,” explains Lois Alberti, founder of Alberti Realty. “A lot of investors are rehabbing properties.” For homes ripe for renovation, prices range from $50,000 to $79,000.
During the school year, students can attend Park Heights Academy before transitioning to Pimlico Elementary/Middle. For high school, students choose where to attend, but Baltimore Polytechnic Institute is an option less than two miles away, easily reached via bus. At Baltimore Polytechnic, students select from over 45 after-school clubs, many of which serve as enrichment for the STEM-focused curriculum, like the Aviation Club and 3D Printing Club.
After school, jog on the treadmill or practice your jump shots at Towanda Recreation Center. The center's multiple science and technology spaces also provide educational resources. For longer weekend adventures, walk through the trails in Druid Hill Park or play a round of disc golf with friends. With 745 acres of recreational activities less than 2 miles from home, you'll experience countless opportunities to get outside year-round.
When it’s time to stock up on the essentials, head to Save a Lot and Rite Aid, located along West Cold Spring Ln. With the West Cold Spring Metro close by, venture to surrounding areas for additional shopping opportunities and top restaurants in the heart of Baltimore. Get off at the Charles Center station for Pratt Street Ale House, Kona Grill, or Maiwand Grill. Whatever cuisine you crave, there’s a good chance you can find it less than 5 miles away. The metro connects you to more than local attractions and top dining options. Johns Hopkins Hospital, the largest hospital in the state of Maryland, has a stop right outside the entrance. With almost 100 physicians named as top doctors in the area, the hospital brings high-quality care to Baltimore City. Sinai Hospital is also close to home, providing emergency care 2 miles away.
Access to Downtown Baltimore isn’t the only draw for the neighborhood. Wander through the vintage shops, trendy breweries, and happening galleries along West 36th St in Hampden, less than 3 miles away. While you’re in the area, sip on a carefully crafted cappuccino at Artifact Coffee or grab some produce from MOM’s organic market. A highly sought-after neighborhood in Baltimore, Hampden maintains a lively atmosphere that can be reached any day of the week from Towanda-Grantley.
For travel outside the city limits, the neighborhood still offers convenience. Hop on Interstate 83 or Route 1 right down the street and reach the Baltimore/Washington International Airport, Towson, and Glen Burnie within 15 miles.
