A historic cathedral and quiet residences 6 miles north of downtown Baltimore

The historic neighborhood of Wyndhurst sits within the heart of north central Baltimore. Comprised of two subdivisions, Tuxedo Park and Embla Park, housing options in Wyndhurst are primarily single-family residences. The average home price here is about $550,000, which is lower than in Homeland and Poplar Hill. “Wyndhurst is a super small pocket neighborhood in Baltimore that’s often mistaken for Roland Park,” explains Mike Fielder, Realtor with the Key Home Team of Cummings & Co. “But it has a lot of the same appeal - great ambiance, tree-lined streets, and it’s recognized as a Baltimore historic neighborhood.” A major attraction to the area, the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen was built in the 1950s. Located off North Charles Street, the church features a limestone exterior, towering spires and a crypt. Residents support local businesses like Eddie’s of Roland Park, which has been serving the community since 1944. Though the neighborhood is right next to the private universities of Loyola University and Notre Dame, grade school students study within Baltimore City Public Schools, graded an overall C-plus on Niche. Wyndhurst has an overall CAP Index crime score of 2 out of 10, which is lower than the national average of 4.

19th Century Wyndhurst homes off Summit Avenue

Homes in Wyndhurst can often be dated back to the 19th century. “Though often confused with Roland Park, the Wyndhurst neighborhood has a character and charm all its own and is great for those who like beautiful, older homes,” says Fred Golding, a Realtor since 2003 and co-founder of GQ Home Team in the Baltimore area. “Homes in Wyndhurst vary from grand Victorian and Colonial-style homes to brick and wood-framed cottages.” Though there are not many of them within the neighborhood boundaries, several houses have wrap-around porches, tidy lawns and sit on quiet streets. They often will have touches of their original architecture, including slate-tile roofs, decorative shingles and sometimes stained-glass windows. Though most are two-stories, some smaller floor plans are also available. Homes prices here can range between $350,000 and $650,000. Homes near the Stony Run creek may experience some flooding during particularly heavy rain.

Two country clubs and the Roland Park Pool

Elkridge Country Club was first a fox hunting club in 1878 but is now a members-only golf club with an 18-hole course, racquet courts and a pool. Though this location’s golf course was closed in 1962, Baltimore Country Club is considered one of the top 50 country clubs in the United States. Members can golf at the Five Farms course 8 miles north on the club’s second campus. “Stony Run is a trail that runs north and south. It’s a great trail if you just want to hike or take your dog for a walk and let them swim in the water. There are morning meetups with dog parents there as well,” Fielder says. Families can spend summer days at the Roland Park Pool and swim club, open only to Roland Park residents and those with memberships. South of town, Sherwood Gardens is a free-admission public garden where locals can stroll through to view springtime tulips and other floral species. The nearby Cylburn Arboretum is free and open to the public year-round. Visitors can explore 200 acres of gardens and trails or host a picnic with friends.

Long-time Wyndhurst locals businesses and restaurants

Eddie’s of Roland Park is a long-time community staple and gourmet grocery store with grab-and-go sandwiches, crab cakes, soup and fresh produce. Across the street is the renovated Enoch Pratt Free Library, a stunning stone building established in 1924. On Lawndale Avenue is Shananigans Toy Shop, which sells trains, planes and many different toys. Farther down Roland Avenue, folks can spend an evening out at the historic Roland Park Shopping Center, where Petit Louis Bistro serves French cuisine in a Tudor-style cottage with outdoor patio seating. “Johnny’s Cafe, right next to Petit Louis, is a lovely little place. They have high-end coffee and great cocktails,” Fielder says. “They’ve also got a full lunch and dinner menu that changes seasonally because they try to keep their ingredients locally sourced.” For everyday errands, locals can drive 2 miles south to Giant Food or MOM's Organic Market. The Rotunda shopping mall nearby has several high-end stores, a movie theater and a Tuesday farmer’s market from early June to late October.
