Mt. Washington Homes: A Village in the Trees

Mt. Washington is the rare city neighborhood that feels like a small town tucked into the trees. Winding, wooded streets climb the hills above the Jones Falls, lined with a truly eclectic mix of architecture: Victorians, cottages, stone homes and even mid-century modern houses, each with its own personality.

At the bottom of the hill sits Mt. Washington Village, a cluster of locally owned shops and restaurants right by the light rail stop. The light rail gets you downtown in about 20 minutes, and also runs north to Hunt Valley and south to BWI. Across the Kelly Avenue bridge, the restored Mount Washington Mill holds more shops and offices.

Sundays belong to the Mt. Washington Farmers Market, where vendors from within 100 miles of the city bring produce, bread, coffee and flowers.

Homes here don't sit long. Single-family homes typically sell in the mid-$500s, and good ones move fast. If you're dreaming of Mt. Washington, we'll help you be ready when the right house comes up. If you're selling, we'll make sure yours gets the attention it deserves.

Megan's favorite market: the Waverly Farmers Market on 32nd Street, open year-round on Saturday mornings. It brings farmers, butchers, crafters and food trucks from all over the region. Megan goes with her wagon, does a little people-watching and always runs into neighbors from all over the city.
