Neighborhood Information
Our Character
What a pleasure it is to be able to stroll from your house to a baseball
game or a sidewalk cafe overlooking the harbor or to any number of enjoyable
and interesting places! Despite proximity to so much activity and excitement,
Ridgely's Delight retains its historic, small-scale, residential flavor.
Ridgely's Delight has an active community association, and we encourage everyone's participation. Learn more about it.
Our History
The neighborhood's historic designation protects the charming atmosphere of 19th century houses on tree-lined streets. Babe Ruth was born here, George Washington slept here, and we're still making history today.

Our Location
Our convenient location at the edge of Baltimore's Downtown Business District and just off I-95
makes accessibility one of the great qualities of Ridgely's Delight. Many residents walk to
work in nearby office buildings or University Hospital or to the professional schools of the
University of Maryland. We're just a short walk to the MARC train station and lightrail stations
and Charm City Circulator stops and a15-minute drive to Baltimore Washington International Airport.
