Universities, Hospitals, and Employers

Wyman Hills is built for people connected to Baltimore's universities and medical institutions. The Johns Hopkins University Homewood campus is roughly a ten-minute walk from the front door, which means students and staff can skip the commute entirely. Loyola University Maryland and Notre Dame of Maryland University are both a short drive north along Charles Street, and MedStar Union Memorial Hospital is close by for healthcare workers. The neighborhood has long attracted graduate students and young professionals for exactly this reason.

The Avenue, Museums, and Local Attractions

The Avenue on 36th Street is the heart of Hampden and steps from home, packed with independent boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants, and bars that give the neighborhood its reputation. The Rotunda sits nearby with groceries, a movie theater, and more retail. The Baltimore Museum of Art, home to the largest Matisse collection in the world and free to enter, is a short walk east near the Hopkins campus. The Maryland Zoo and the Rawlings Conservatory sit in Druid Hill Park to the west, and Cylburn Arboretum offers 207 acres of gardens and woodland trails, open daily except Mondays at no charge. Residents searching for apartments near The Avenue Hampden will not find a closer address.

Parks, Trails, and Getting Around

Wyman Park is right at hand, and it is the reason many residents choose this location: jogging trails, open space for throwing a ball, and one of the better spots in North Baltimore for a dog. The Jones Falls Trail runs through the valley below, connecting cyclists and runners toward Druid Hill Park and down into the city. For transit, the Woodberry Light Rail Station is close by, served by Light RailLink plus bus routes 21, 22, and 94, giving residents a car-free path downtown and to BWI. Anyone comparing 21211 apartments for rent will find this one of the most walkable and connected addresses in the neighborhood.
