Poppleton Homes for Rent

Poppleton, a historic neighborhood in southwest Baltimore, is known for its rich history and proximity to the Inner Harbor. Named after Thomas Poppleton, the community features landmarks like the colorful alley-style row houses of Sarah Ann Street and the Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum. Redevelopment efforts and community activism are fostering positive changes. Poppleton is well-connected with major bus lines and the West Baltimore Marc station, making it a convenient location for commuters to Washington, D.C. The neighborhood is characterized by red brick row houses, primarily two-story with some three-story options, showcasing Greek Revival and Federal-style architecture. Homes often have short front stoops and small back driveways. Local amenities include mini-marts and convenience stores, with more extensive grocery options available 1.5 miles west at Food Depot. Hollins Market, undergoing renovations, will soon offer produce vendors and food stalls. Dining options include Zella’s Pizzeria, a local favorite. Residents can enjoy Franklin Square Park, one of Baltimore’s oldest parks, and the annual Ruth M. Kirk Family Fun Festival. Efforts are underway to revitalize the Poppleton Recreation Center and Greater Model Park. Poppleton is a mile from Oriole Park at Camden Yards, adding to its attractions.
