WOODBERRY
Residents and houses are a nice mix of the old and the new
You probably know Woodberry for its award- winning restaurant, Woodberry Kitchen, its craft breweries, and artist studios, but did you know that it has a vibrant residential community? Backing up to the wooded slopes of Druid Hill Park and the Jones Falls Trail, Woodberry is home to TV Hill, the high- est point in Baltimore and broadcast base for many local radio and TV stations. Many of its former tex- tile mills have been repurposed, and it is a Nation- al Historic District, with tax credits available for appropriate home renovations. Residents are a nice mix of the old and the new (average age is 34) with a strong neighborhood association and a well-regarded public elementary school in nearby Medfield.
Home styles: From old mill-worker houses to ultra- contemporary, green-certified parkside homes, to new apartments and condos featuring a jaw-drop- ping outdoor pool — Woodberry offers many choices when house hunting. There are some, but not lots, of freestanding houses with big yards.
Walk to: A huge network of trails and parks. Ar- tifact Coffee, Blue Pit BBQ, Meadow Mill gym, and most of Hampden, hon. There’s a Light Rail stop at Woodberry that can have you downtown in min- utes and good driving access to I-83.
Home prices: The median home price for Wood- berry is $195,000.
