Mount Washington, Baltimore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mount Washington is a neighborhood in Northwest Baltimore. Its rough boundaries are Pimlico Road, Northern Parkway, the Jones Falls Expressway, and Smith Avenue. It is a mostly residential community of single family houses, although it has a small commercial district, called Mount Washington Village, located near the Kelly Avenue Bridge; the Baltimore Light Rail's Mount Washington station is located here. The Mount Washington Tavern, opened in 1980 in a building that is on the National Register of Historic Places, is a gathering place that sports four separate bars on multiple levels including an outdoor roof-top bar and multiple Baltimore themed dining rooms.

The zoned local public schools are Mount Washington Elementary, Roland Park Middle, and Northwestern High School, although most of the children in the community who continue their public education in the Baltimore City public schools systems do so either at the elite magnet schools, City College or Poly.
