Original Northwood, located between Loch Raven Boulevard and The Alameda, is a residential and garden-suburb Baltimore neighborhood with curving streets and Tudor- and Colonial Revival homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Northwood Commons area at Loch Raven Blvd and Argonne Drive, where a small cluster of everyday storefronts and campus energy sets the tempo. Northwood Theatre and the Morgan State University campus act as cultural anchors, with the theatre’s marquee and university events shaping the streetscape. Mature trees, stone walls, and deep setbacks give blocks a quiet, designed feel. Northwood Park and Herring Run Park add wooded trails and open lawns. Commuter routes thread along Loch Raven Boulevard toward the city’s north side.
