Garwyn Oaks, one of Baltimore’s older communities, is nestled among bountiful trees, flower gardens, open spaces, and wide, well-lit streets in Northwest Baltimore. The beauty of the area is in its tranquility, abundant greenery, and variety of housing. It is a community of families, children and seniors alike—a small town atmosphere in an urban setting.
