Highlights
Charles Village may be known best for the Victorian-style rowhomes lined up along its streets. Some of these are the oldest standing buildings in the city and are called Painted Ladies for their brightly colored facades. These historic houses manage to coexist peacefully with the new construction going on in the area: a blending that probably provides the best metaphor for the neighborhood. It has both old-school charm and modern appeal, and as such is easily one of the hippest spots in the city. Although the area has a lot to offer beyond Johns Hopkins University, it would be difficult not to notice the world famous college that sits at the dead center of the community.

Charles Village may be known best for the Victorian-style rowhomes lined up along its streets. Some of these are the oldest standing buildings in the city and are called Painted Ladies for their brightly colored facades. These historic houses manage to coexist peacefully with the new construction going on in the area: a blending that probably provides the best metaphor for the neighborhood. It has both old-school charm and modern appeal, and as such is easily one of the hippest spots in the city. Although the area has a lot to offer beyond Johns Hopkins University, it would be difficult not to notice the world famous college that sits at the dead center of the community. It would also be impossible to deny that the students of the college have had a great influence on the area, from the trendy coffee shops to the 24-hour Kinko's copy shop, and that the college itself provides residents plentiful cultural and entertainment options. One focal point of the community even draws its name from the college -- Hopkins Square, where you can go to shop, eat or just enjoy a cup of coffee while you watch passers-by. Charles Village is basically a hop-skip-and-jump from wherever you happen to be in or around the city. It's a short drive up Charles Street from the Inner Harbor, or a short drive down from Towson. It's just as convenient to get there by bus, which, by the way, is highly recommended, since most of the area parking is always full, expensive or both.
