Westfield

What brought you to Baltimore?

I am originally from a suburb of Philadelphia. My journey to Baltimore began in 2011 when I moved here for my Doctoral Fellowship in pediatric neuropsychology. The professional opportunities and the vibrant healthcare community in Baltimore played a significant role in my decision to relocate. In early 2018, I solidified my connection to the city by purchasing a home here with my partner. I have truly fallen in love with Baltimore and all it has to offer. I have been fortunate enough to work in several prestigious hospitals and clinics in the city. My experience here has been nothing short of amazing, and I am grateful for the support and mentorship I have received from colleagues and supervisors. The community of healthcare professionals here is incredibly collaborative and supportive, making Baltimore an ideal place for me to grow both personally and professionally.

What do you love most about this neighborhood?

What I love most about Westfield is its amazing diversity and the strong sense of community. It's a great mix of people of all ages, races, family sizes, religions, incomes, sexual orientations, etc. You'll find young professionals, retired couples, large families, and everything in between, all contributing to a vibrant and diverse community. It feels inclusive and welcoming to everyone. nnWestfield has amenities for everyone. Whether you're into charming restaurants, lively bars, serene parks, unique gift shops, or even farms, there's always something to enjoy. The big homes with spacious yards and tree-lined streets give you that suburban vibe, but city conveniences are just around the corner. It's a peaceful spot within the city, offering the best of both worlds.nnPlus, Westfield's prime spot on Harford Road means you're just 20 minutes from the city waterfront, 25 minutes from the beautiful east side parks, and it's super easy to get to both downtown and the county.
