Medfield

Description

Medfield is a small, quiet neighborhood located in North Baltimore between Hampden and Roland Park. Medfield residents enjoy below-average crime, close proximity to transit and I-83, and the attractions of neighboring Hampden, all in a quiet, close-knit community. Medfield is less than a mile from Loyola College and less than 2 miles from Johns Hopkins Homewood campus.

History

Medfield is named after the Medfield Academy, a 19th-century prep school believed to have stood near 42nd Street west of Falls Road. The southern half of Medfield was annexed by Baltimore in 1888, and the northern half in 1918. By the early 1960s, most of the neighborhood’s development was complete.


Development in Medfield began with the construction of rowhouses in the 1920s in the southern-most blocks of the community. The northern portion was then developed mostly with one- and two-story single-family homes with larger yards. In the 1950’s and 1960’s, the space in between was developed with more modern-era rowhouses.

Educational Resources

From pre-school to high school, Baltimore City’s schools serve students and families across more than 225 neighborhoods. Parents and students have numerous choices from public, private, parochial, and charter schools. Many elementary schools are zoned geographically, but are increasingly becoming schools of choice. All high schools are choice schools and all middle schools are becoming schools of choice in 2010-2011. This means students can apply to attend any school in the City regardless of their home address; some schools do have admission criteria. All charter schools and Transformation Schools have lotteries for admission.

Baltimore offers a wealth of opportunities when it comes to higher education at both the undergraduate, graduate and technical education levels. The seventeen colleges and universities within or near the City enroll more than 120,000 students. Through the Baltimore Collegetown Network, 16 area colleges cooperate and share resources, such as shuttle buses and libraries.
