New Northwood sets an inviting tone in northeast Baltimore, with tidy mid-century brick homes, mature trees, and streets that feel neighborly from the first stroll. Adjacent to storybook Original Northwood, the area blends quiet residential blocks with quick connections along Hillen Road and Perring Parkway. Weekend routines often revolve around the trails of Herring Run Park and loops around Lake Montebello, while day-to-day errands are easy thanks to nearby Northwood Commons and small businesses sprinkled along The Alameda.
Culture and education are close at hand. Morgan State University anchors the neighborhood with concerts, lectures, and Bears athletics that add energy year-round. Foodies appreciate access to cafes and global eats in Waverly and artsy spots in Lauraville, both just a short drive or bike ride away.
Families eyeing schools will find a range of options within Baltimore City Public Schools, including magnet and charter pathways. The renowned Baltimore City College, one of the nation’s oldest public high schools, sits a few minutes southwest and draws students for its International Baccalaureate program and rich traditions.
