A quiet, close-knit community in southwest Baltimore

Hidden among other suburbs of its kind in southwest Baltimore, Tremont is a neighborhood that visitors will miss if they blink. This tiny grouping of residential streets is home to single-family homes and apartments tucked along a tree line. Bordered by the community of Ten Hills, Tremont is just five miles from the cultural hub of Downtown and four miles from sprawling Leakin Park, the largest woodland park of any East Coast city. Despite its proximity to Downtown, Tremont remains somewhat inconspicuous, with several retailers and restaurants nearby. “Tremont is close-knit and quiet, compared to some of the surrounding neighborhoods,” says Realtor Nzinga Anderson of Realty One Group Excellence with more than five years’ experience.

Older rowhouses along parallel streets

Parallel streets of tightly packed single-family homes define this neighborhood. Attached red brick row houses and tidy yards represent the neighborhood of Tremont in southwest Baltimore. Tremont’s two-story row houses typically include narrow front and back yards and cozy front porches whose decorative awnings provide shade and personality. Well-tended and carefully mowed lawns reflect the pride residents take in their homes. “They’re older homes, so they’re a bit bigger and sturdier than new developments,” says Anderson. Parking is available in rear lots and on the surrounding streets. Pricing ranges between $100,000 and $215,000. For those looking for alternative housing options, this neighborhood also offers one and two-bedroom apartments on its north end.

A day outdoors at Irvington Park

Residents seeking fresh air can head just a half-mile south to Irvington Park, an ample grassy green space alongside Maidens Choice Run, the local stream. It sits adjacent to Beechfield Elementary’s playground and features a generous baseball field. Irvington Park also has a fenced-in soccer field with bleachers for spectators. A short drive north lands locals at the Carrie Murray Nature Center, a great spot where families can spend the weekend. The center also has nature camps for kids in the summer, where they can explore the outdoors and interactively learn more about nature.

Using the CityLink

Tremont is traversable by foot, taking only minutes to walk from one side to the other. “Tremont is really close to the train, for those commuting to DC or some of the southern Maryland counties,” says Anderson. The CityLink blue and purple lines branch away from Tremont toward Downtown, making for about a twenty-minute trip with over a dozen stops. While not the ideal method of reaching the city, it requires hardly any walking to reach the initial bus stop.

Tremont has several bus stops, including the Purple line that travels throughout Baltimore City.
