Overview
(edit)
Just across University Parkway from the Hopkins Homewood playing fields is the small residential community of Tuscany-Canterbury, a registered historic neighborhood of Baltimore. Home to nearly one thousand families, Tuscany-Canterbury is characterized by the rows of grand old town homes dating back to the 1920's and are primarily of the garden-variety and tudor-style with many smaller apartments carved into them. You will also find a lot of 1960's style apartment towers and pockets of single family town homes, but is mainly a very quiet and family-friendly area. The border to the east, Charles Street, is a lively area with shops and restaurants mostly frequented by students, and has places such as the Hopkins Deli and the One World Cafe, with an excellent little video store to boot. But overall, the area is quaint, beautifully crafted, and features a good mix of inhabitants. Enjoy the buses provided by Johns Hopkins (free to students, fares for non-students), or walk or bike, as the streets are very walkable and easy to navigate...and crime is nearly non-existent.

It is predominantly a grouping of apartment buildings and Tudor-style homes that run along Charles Street and Univeristy Parkway. There is a smattering of small delis and cafes including the Hopkins Deli and One World Cafe.
