Located along Charles Street, Baltimore's North/South spine, Charles Village is a mostly residential neighborhood, with a cluster of retail and restaurant spaces on St. Paul Street, as well as a few stores scattered throughout the neighborhood. The nearby Johns Hopkins University, Homewood campus, which borders Charles Village to the west, creates a strong student presence. An extra tax provides the funds for the Charles Village Community Benefits District, a management authority that helps keep the neighborhood spotlessly clean. Frequent community events and an almost universal appreciation for the old houses of the neighborhood bring the diverse community together.

In 2030, one in four Maryland residents will be age 60 or older. Local nonprofits are paving the way to help seniors of today and tomorrow become more active and independent -- and hopefully rely less on the cash-strapped government and an already stressed health care system. They are offering volunteer opportunities, transportation and building a new style of nursing homes.
