A National Register Historic District, Mount Vernon encompasses the best of what city living has to offer. This lively neighborhood not only serves as the cultural center of Baltimore but as the home to a diverse group of residents and businesses. College students who walk to class and professionals who work here, downtown, or as far away as Washington and New York are just some of the people who take advantage of Mt. Vernon's convenient location. Singles and empty nesters who seek to avoid the monotony of the suburbs, enjoy a wide array of art, entertainment, and services just steps from their front door. Living spaces include single family Victorian row homes, carriage houses, condominiums, apartments in row homes, and several high-rises.

Mt. Vernon consists of an eclectic mix of rowhomes from the late 18th to the early 20th century and a number of condominium and apartment units. Although most houses are approx. 20 ft. wide with 3 to 4 floors, sizes range from the largest rowhome in Baltimore on Mt. Vernon Place to the 10 ft. wide,-two room deep rowhomes on Tyson St.. In addition to the traditional Baltimore Federal style, Second Empire, Georgian, Edwardian, Romanesque, Beaux Arts, Tudor, Gothic and an eclectic mixture of all of the above are represented here. Extravagant use of materials is still evident in the details in many interiors. Although a few have remained in use as single family homes, many of these houses have been converted for use as doctors and lawyers offices or divided into apartments. Currently, an increasing number of these are being restored to their single family configuration. Prices range from $125,000 to $1,500,000.
