In a city known for distinctive neighborhoods, Hampden feels like a small town, with modest homes that retain their original charm and locals that still use that Baltimore term of endearment, Hon -- as in "How ya doin', Hon?"

Hampden hosts many events throughout the year, including First Fridays, HonFest, HampdenFest, Halloween in Hampden, Miracle on 34th Street, the Mayor's Christmas Parade, and much, much, more!

Only 10 minutes by car, bus or Light Rail from downtown Baltimore, Hampden is also convenient to suburban neighborhoods via I-83 and major arteries such as Northern Parkway, Cold Spring Lane, Charles Street and Falls Road. (See Map)

Many other attractions are just around the corner, including the Baltimore Museum of Art, Walters Art Museum, Baltimore Zoo, and many colleges and universities, including College of Notre Dame, Johns Hopkins University, Loyola College, Maryland Institute College of Art, Morgan State University, and the University of Baltimore.
The Hampden Village Merchants Association works to keep this charming enclave of shops, restaurants and businesses safe and beautiful. To make Hampden shopping as convenient and accessible as possible, Baltimore City's first "Shuttlebug" bus regularly services the area.

Whether you join us to shop or eat, use our professional services, or enjoy one of our annual events, we hope we'll see you soon!
