Moving to the Baltimore area for school later this year. I have been looking into apartments that are in the downtown area and came across 2Hopkins. Has anyone lived there or currently is? If so, what were the pros/cons?

I lived there and loved it! The building and apartments are super nice. The only downside is that the area doesn’t have a “neighborhood” feel and the amenities are lacking compared to other buildings in the area. They make up for this in the quality they build into the apartments. Fixtures, finishes and appliances blow my place at anthem house out of the water.

How do you like Anthem House and Locust Point?

I agree, that area of downtown isn't really residential - and isn't really close to any great restaurants or bars... Good views though!

I do like anthem House a lot and I LOVE locust point. My only complaint is the appliances. Big downgrade on a agitator washing machine. Big “old person” energy. The proximity to downtown plus the neighborhood vibe is great. There’s a little too much “corporate” stuff there like the chipotle, however I’m willing to make that trade off if it means two grocery stores. Having four good restaurants in a couple block radius rules. My view is better at anthem house actually I look out over the fort.

Anthem House is pretty pricey for a 1 bedroom 😭also, I’m attending Johns Hopkins School of Nursing this fall, so I’m hoping to find an apartment near campus if that makes sense

I’m happy to hear that. I’m in Florida right now, so I’m not able to physically tour any apartments. But I’ve heard many good reviews on 2Hopkins so I’m happy that you added on to it

If you're going to Hopkins Nursing (congratulations!), several of my neighbors have lived on Park Ave in Mount Vernon while they were in that nursing school. Look at https://www.520parkapartments.com/ and https://www.500parkapts.com/

There's a Hopkins shuttle between Mount Vernon and the Hopkins campuses, so you don't have to worry about driving or transportation. Plus Mount Vernon has a neighborhood feel, with local shops, bars, restaurants.
