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.
