Station North Arts and Entertainment District

Description

The Station North Arts & Entertainment District is a vibrant, up-and-coming area in central Baltimore. Just north of Penn Station, the area is home to an abundance of art galleries, theaters, music venues, restaurants, performance spaces, and bars. Many artists live and work in the area, creating an eclectic mix of people and activities.




History

Station North has a history as both a commercial and residential area in Baltimore. Its proximity to Penn Station has always been one of its attractions. Small and large 19th & 20th century rowhouses – typical of Baltimore – can be found throughout the district. More recently, modern townhomes, condominiums and loft-style apartments have been built as well. The Charles movie theater – Baltimore’s art house theatre - has been a cornerstone of the neighborhood for years. Industrial and commercial buildings that were once part of the crown cork & seal company have recently been bought by artists and converted into live-work space. A number of small-scale developers have been renovating properties in the area.

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.
