Garwyn Oaks is a neighborhood in the Northwest District of Baltimore, located between the neighborhoods of Windsor Hills and Hanlon Longwood. The boundaries of its somewhat rectangular shape are marked by Woodhaven Avenue (north), Gwynns Falls Parkway (south), Garrison Boulevard (east) and Chelsea Terrace (west).[2]
The land now occupied by the Garwyn Oaks community was originally part of George Repold Vickers' Mount Alto estate. Many of the more than 300 houses in Garwyn Oaks are wood frame single-family detached homes and shingle style row houses that were built in the early 1900s. A diverse population of blue and white collar workers, self-employed workers, professionals and retired people live in these houses.[2][3]
