Anneslie

Anneslie is a quaint Baltimore suburb with a small-town feel. Known for its supportive, friendly community, Anneslie is a great place to call home. This neighborhood is filled with charming architecture and rich history. Starting in the 1920s, this community has grown to encompass over 500 homes.

In the 100 years since its conception, this neighborhood has retained its original charm. For example, what once was the 119-acre Villa Anneslie estate echoes the property's past and continues to be seen along the streets today. The original Villa still stands at the heart of this community as a reminder of its past. Brimming with historical charm, Anneslie is also a friendly and walkable community.

 

Anneslie Community Association hosts myriad annual events. Each winter, families can watch Santa cruise through Anneslie and compete in a holiday decorating contest with prizes for categories like most traditional and most creative.

 

​Spring brings activities like bowling night at Stoneleigh Lanes, a “spring cleaning” neighborhood yard sale, and an environmentally conscious dumpster day. Movie nights and charity events fill the summer calendar, and the community goes all-out for Halloween.
