Situated a block from St Paul Street, Calvert Court is close to central bus lines, including the free Charm City Circulator, that run downtown, making Penn Station about a 10 minute bus ride away. The Hampden neighborhood, where one may find many eclectic restaurants and bars, as well as quirky shops and antiques, is a 20 minute walk around or through the Johns Hopkins University campus. The Remington neighborhood, a 15 minute walk away, is home to an Obama-approved coffee shop, a food hall/restaurant incubator, contemporary theater, and a speakeasy.
