Professional Arts Building

I lived at the PAB last year and loved it! The building tried hard to ensure the tenants are happy. I never have trouble with mail/package deliveries, which I am dealing with now. I also love Milk and Honey cafe attached to the building and often shopped there for food items. The apt was big with good lighting. Rent is a bit high for the size of the apartment but I was splitting it with a roommate so it wasn't as much of a problem. The neighborhood is great and the location is ideal if you're mostly spending time on Charles St.

Great location

It is an old beautiful building that has been spruced up and is very well maintained. The location is great as it is in the heart of Mt Vernon and a minute's walk from N. Charles St where you have bars, restaurants, beauty parlors & a grocery store.

Great Apartment

I've been living here for 6 months now and plan on renewing my lease at the end of the year. I love my apartment! It's spacious and modern and has great sunlight. When I moved in I was given new countertops, fresh coat of paint and new carpet. The building is pet-friendly ($250 deposit, and $35 a month).

It's also in a great location -- right in the heart of Mt. Vernon and close to public transportation and restaurants/bars.

A little expensive, but the views, condition of the apartment, and care the staff provide are great. Building is in close proximity to restaurants, bars, museums and the main city. The square is just a couple of blocks away. The large windows provide plenty of sunlight.

Reviewed by Baltimore Law Student living at 611 Park Avenue
Mount Vernon has restaurants, bars, shops, and multiple grassy areas near the monument. It's a great place to walk around. It's a very communal space. Nearby schools are UB, UMD, MICA, and JHU Peabody. Bus transit near the monument. The Walters Art Museum is very close by. UB is about a 15 minute walk and 5 minute drive from 611 Park.

Area is nearby Mount Vernon, which is very charming. Good restaurants, nice walking area. If you are into night life, however, this apartment may not be for you. The area nearby the building is very quiet at night.
Reviewed by UMD Carey Law Student living at 521 St. Paul Street
Great place to visit museums, restaurants, and historical monuments. Not too far from the law school, and the UMB Shuttle can get you to school in about 10 minutes
Reviewed by Baltimore Law Student living at The Mount Royal
There isn’t too much near by in comparison to other locations in Baltimore, but it is in the middle of the city so it is easy to get places. There isn’t a grocery store nearby, which is probably the biggest con.
Reviewed by Baltimore Law Student living at The Mount Royal
UMd Police presence is fairly high, so the area feels reasonably safe. Fairly well lit, and fairly heavily traveled given its location with UB and UMd.
Have only been offered crack once in two years.
Reviewed by UMD Carey Law Student living at The Redwood
This area of Baltimore is not necessarily super busy. The nightlife and restaurant scene is abysmal in this spot, but there are several, easy ways to get into Federal Hill or Fell's Point.

Additionally, this area is not known to be a super safe area of Baltimore, but since we are located so close to the school, there is constant security around. I have never felt unsafe walking to and from school and my apartment.
Reviewed by UMD Resident living at Chesapeake Commons
On the very south edge of Mt Vernon. Pretty quiet, some good restaurants/a few bars around. Easy to casually go out, or travel a bit for more aggressive nightlife. Less safe area about 1 block south, but very safe north.
Reviewed by Baltimore Law Student living at The Mount Royal
Good bar/restaurant scene, right next to the train/bus station. Some crime but can't help that.
