About Barclay

Located between Penn Station and Johns Hopkins University, Barclay is a neighborhood located right in the middle of the action. Community groups and activists have worked long and hard over the last few years to upgrade the neighborhood in terms of the housing opportunities available. In addition, they worked to create several gardens that adults can enjoy and green spaces and playgrounds where residents can let their children play. Large scale efforts are continuing to remake the neighborhood as it keeps an eye on the future without losing its connection to Baltimore history.
