Historic Guilford is one of Maryland’s most prominent communities. This highly sought-after neighborhood has several roots in Baltimore’s history and is a designated National Register Historic District.

Today, Guilford is known for its alluring architectural styles and prime location.

The neighborhood offers a variety of styles for rent, from cozy cottages to jaw-dropping mansions and luxury apartments. By living in Guilford, you’ll be close to some of the biggest attractions and major destinations in Baltimore. The neighborhood borders Loyola University Maryland and Johns-Hopkins University. Walk a few blocks over from the campus and you’ll have access to a slew of locally-owned restaurants, cafes, and bars along 36th Street. The Baltimore Museum of Art, Wyman Park, Maryland Zoo, and Druid Hill Park are all convenient to Guilford as well. And if you need to go to Downtown Baltimore, you’ll only be a 20-minute drive away.

There have been a few crimes as of late, but security is well-maintained in the area because of its proximity to a large institution. As this appeals to a large proportion of undergraduate students attending local universities, investment in safety measures is at the forefront of discussions about the neighborhood.

I do not drink, but there is such a great variety of restaurants in my area and in the neighborhoods nearby. Many types of ethnic foods

The taxes are high, which reflects in the ridiculous renting prices in the area, but I pay to be near to the University, which is safe, and the rich neighborhoods surrounding Charles Village always seem to be plowed in the winter.
