Ruxton, once the location of Baltimore's wealthiest residents, is still one of Baltimore's premier neighborhoods in the area. Located on Baltimore's northern boundary, Ruxton feels like a rural community with its green hills and ample amount of trees, yet it is just minutes from the city's downtown. Known for its attention to tradition and family, Ruxton is the type of neighborhood where people settle down, put down their roots and raise their families. Start shopping for Ruxton homes for sale.
