Horizon House (is it still called that?) on Calvert in Mt Vernon has a cool rooftop pool. It’s not swanky but it has a pretty view of the old prison building which is some cool architecture.

The neighborhood is decent, old. It was gentrified/revitalized about 20 years ago, it’s a decent mix of Baltimore in a central area.

I lived there for 3 years in the early 10s. It was one of the best homes I’ve had in my young adult life. The time period in general was great, but I loved my apt (utilities included), that rooftop pool, and the fact that The Prime Rib was a literal elevator ride down stairs. I spent A LOT of money there then lol.

Ha I was there about the same time 2012-2014. It was a fun place in my 20’s, although twice, in front of the building, I had 2 different people who literally just got out of the jail on the other side of 83 ask for directions.

A funny? sad? memory was when guy ask for directions to Ellicott City, on foot! He had a plastic bag with (I guess was) whatever he had on him whenever he went to jail. I started giving driving directions and he said he was walking, said he just got out of jail. I tried to tell him that’s just not really possible and told him maybe by bus, even offered fare, and he got frustrated with me, and finally just asked me to point him in the direction of EC. Literally pointed and that’s whatever adventure that dude embarked on that evening.
