A suburban community in a central Northeast Baltimore location

Named after two of its intersecting streets, the Moravia-Walther neighborhood mostly consists of residential properties, tucked away in a quiet suburb of Northeast Baltimore. Sharing a border with the Hamilton-Lauraville area, known for its array of shopping and dining options, locals have plenty of nearby activities to choose from. “One of the best things about Moravia-Walther is the surrounding communities,” says Marc Hagerthey, long-time area resident and Realtor with RE/MAX Components. A walk down Harford Road leads to shopping centers, locally owned businesses and restaurants. Morgan State University, Herring Run Park and Lake Montebello are a few of the many other attractions within about 1 mile. Homebuyers searching in Baltimore often choose Moravia-Walther for its CAP Index Crime Score of 3, which is significantly lower than other parts of the city.

Koco’s Pub is known for their famous 11-ounce crab cakes, which are so popular that people all over the country order them via overnight shipping. Shoppers can make a grocery run to Safeway or Harvest Fare and pick up prescriptions from CVS. The Walther Gardens and Nursery, acquired by The Margaret Cleveland company, has been a mainstay in the neighborhood since the 19th century.

In the summertime, visitors can try a cold treat in the garden from The Peggy snowball stand, which is the oldest in the country.
