Proximity to Johns Hopkins University and nearby hospitals
Less than 5 miles north of downtown, Waverly is a conveniently located neighborhood that boasts lower home prices than nearby communities in North Baltimore. “It’s a mixture of both a lot of young families and young professionals because you’re right by Johns Hopkins University and Union Memorial Hospital, and a lot of people work at these facilities,” says Mezette Meredith of eXp Realty, a lifelong resident of Baltimore who lives and works in Waverly. Between its popular farmers market and commercial strip, Waverly benefits from urban amenities in a quiet section of the city.
The JHU campus brings a lively and energetic energy to Waverly.
Waverly Union Memorial is located in close proximity to Union Memeorial Hospital.

Strip mall with the essentials along Greenmount Avenue
Greenmount Avenue and 33rd Street serve as the main commercial corridors in the neighborhood. The recently renovated Giant Food includes fresh produce and essentials, and locally owned shops like Magic Men’s Wear and Beauty Lane keep style needs close at hand. When looking to dine out, Pete’s Grille is a top spot that has been serving classic diner eats for decades. “You can go in there and get a nice breakfast for under $12,” Meredith says. The PaperMoon Diner is another popular restaurant just south of Johns Hopkins University, about a mile away. Although there are plenty of nightlife spots in neighboring communities, Melba’s Place sits right off Greenmount Avenue and draws in Waverly locals every weekend.
A Waverly community favorite is Pete's Grill where locals can stop by for breakfast or lunch.

Row houses and Victorian-style homes in Charm City
Though over 70% of the properties in Waverly are row houses, most homes come with a garage that borders the alleyway. Row houses from the early 1900s feature brick exteriors and compact front porches, and single-family homes include Victorian-influenced architecture with bay windows and steeply pitched roofs. While many of Baltimore’s communities no longer have direct mail service to the front door, in Waverly, “you can still get out and walk off your porch to put a letter in the mailbox,” explains Meredith. On average, three- to four-bedroom homes cost between $250,000 and $300,000 and include at least 1,500 square feet — a contrast to prices in surrounding neighborhoods. “A lot of people buy in Waverly because it’s a lot cheaper than Charles Village,” Meredith says. “The homes are just as big, but it doesn’t have that high $400,000 to $450,000 price tag on it, and it’s very diverse, which is awesome.”
Many homes in Waverly have beautiful architectural details.

Pocket parks and access to the Y at Memorial Stadium
When looking for a quick pocket park in the community, Chestnut Hill includes picnic tables and a small basketball court at the corner of Chestnut Hill Avenue and Frisby Street — but this isn’t the only recreational space nearby. The old Memorial Stadium has since been repurposed to house a castle-style play area and the Weinberg YMCA, bringing a more robust park close to home. “I go to the YMCA across the street all the time,” Meredith says. “They have a swimming pool there, basketball courts, classes for Zumba, pickleball and daycare centers.” For rainy days, the Enoch Pratt Free Library’s Waverly Branch is a mile away and includes regular programming, from art classes to STEAM activities.
Chestnut Hill Park is a small neighborhood park in Baltimore City.
Memorial Field is a multipurpose athletic field at Our Playground at Stadium Place.

Access to the weekly 32nd Street Farmers Market
A favorite year-round activity for locals is the 32nd Street Farmers Market, which operates every Saturday. “People really like the farmers market because everybody has to either hand pick or grow their own food — or do something creative with their own hands and be the originator of that product,” Meredith states. The farmers market also hosts events throughout the year, including a pie contest and readings from local authors. For additional activities, Johns Hopkins University holds community involvement fairs and speaker series about a mile away.
Located in Waverly the 32nd Street Farmers Market is open year-round.
