1101 W 38th St

Hampden is only of Baltimore’s trendiest neighborhoods to live and is known for its quirky flair. Once a 19th-century mill town, Hampden has transformed into an enclave for food, nightlife, and art. The neighborhood’s main drag is “the Avenue,” a thoroughfare with an impressive set of independent businesses. Art galleries, vintage shops, and diverse eateries with 3-D signage shape Hampden’s unique culture. Special events like the annual Miracle on 34th Street celebration and Hon Fest (a celebration of beehive hairdos) abound in this bustling neighborhood. Affordable to upscale rentals in every style are available for rent from new apartments to charming rowhouses. Adding a youthful flavor to the area, Hampden is also near Johns Hopkins University, so it’s a great choice for students, faculty, and staff.
