History

 This small community of perhaps one thousand families owes its name to the roads which bisect it. Bounded on the north by Warrenton Road, the east by Charles Street, the south by University Parkway and the west by Linkwood Road, Tuscany-Canterbury is located just north of The Johns Hopkins University and west of Guilford. Tuscany-Canterbury is predominantly a neighborhood of apartment buildings -- garden variety, Tudor-style mid-rise, and high-rise -- which have been built throughout the twentieth century. Distinctive brick Tudor group homes are clustered in the west along Tuscany and Ridgemede Roads, while more traditional American groups have been built in the east on Canterbury and Cloverhill Roads, below West Highfield Road.
