Knollwood

Towson is in the midst of a renaissance. And the best place to be part of this renaissance is in one of Towson’s most livable, diverse and vibrant communities. Within walking distance of the heart of Towson, Knollwood is a sought after urban oasis known for tree-lined streets; quiet evening walks, and a strong community spirit. It’s the perfect place to be part of Towson’s renaissance or sit back and watch it unfold.

Walkability

Since Knollwood is one of the closest communities to downtown Towson, everything is within a safe and easy 20-minute walk. That’s a 20-minute walk to our many sidewalk cafes and restaurants. Or 20-minute walk to a yoga studio, farmers’ market, latest blockbuster movie or world-class shopping mall. Just want a short walk, bike or run? It’s right outside your door on any of our quiet streets.

Diversity

Like Towson, Knollwood offers something for everybody. We have a wide range of housing styles and architecture. We offer mid-century modern, quaint, cozy or colonial. Our safe streets and award winning schools make Knollwood attractive to families. Young professionals are attracted to Towson’s vibrant social life and the easy commute to Baltimore’s downtown career opportunities. Students love the close proximity to Towson University and upon graduation; many stay with us as permanent neighbors.

Community

In Knollwood, it’s our strong community spirit that has been attracting homebuyers for decades. Throughout the year, our community organizes events that bring us together for fun or for a cause. Each summer, we have a series of summer block parties, our Haunted Halloween celebration is becoming a Towson institution that gets media coverage each year, and Santa makes a personal appearance in December. We’re keeping Knollwood green by leading the efforts to establish the Six Bridge Trail, holding yearly tree drives, and organizing a community spring cleanup.

In 2020, we held Towson’s first and highly successful neighborhood based music festival. “A Walk Among The Music” was a needed celebration of good, health, good music, and strong community.

The mission of the Knollwood Association is to keep our residents connected to each other and to the Greater Towson region.
