What Guilford homes cost

In the 12 months to November 12, 2026, 27 detached Guilford homes sold through Bright MLS, from $269,500 to $3,550,000. The median was $925,000, and they averaged 29 days on the market.

Six attached homes sold in the same period, from $215,000 to $580,000, with a median of $402,500 and an average of 42 days. Condominiums are their own market: 23 sold, from $110,000 to $620,000, with a median of $339,000 and an average of 52 days.

That split is why one blended number would mislead you. I compare detached against detached, attached against attached and condo against condo, then adjust for the lot, condition and how much of the original house is intact, and I show you the sales behind the number.

The houses

Most Guilford homes are substantial detached houses on landscaped lots: Georgian Revival, Tudor and colonial, with some French and Italian influenced designs, under mature trees. The neighborhood also includes attached homes in the York Courts and along Greenmount Avenue, plus condominiums.

Its heart is Sherwood Gardens, a privately maintained park that's open to the public and known for its spring tulips. Johns Hopkins' Homewood campus and the Baltimore Museum of Art are close by.

The Guilford Association and covenants

Every Guilford deed carries the covenants of the Roland Park Company's Deed and Agreement, and the Guilford Association enforces them. Any exterior change, including paint colors and significant landscaping, needs written approval from the Association's Architectural Committee before work starts, and a City building permit doesn't replace that approval.

If you're buying with plans for windows, an addition or the yard, read the Association's Architectural Guidelines first, and ask whether it has a letter on file about exterior issues at the property. Guilford is a National Register district, not a City (CHAP) historic district, so the Association's review is the one that applies.

What to check before you buy

I've managed rentals since 2014, so I read inspection reports with repair costs in mind. In a house here I look hard at:

  • Roofs. Slate and tile roofs, their flashing and chimneys.
  • Plumbing and wiring. Older systems, how much has been updated, and the sewer line to the street.
  • Basement water. Grading, gutters, downspouts and signs of past water.
  • Oil tanks. Many older houses once heated with oil. Get a tank sweep, especially for buried tanks.
  • Past updates. Ask for receipts, permits and Association approvals for work done over the decades.
  • Condos. Ask the association for current fees, the budget and the reserve study, and check FHA approval if you need it.

Buying in the City also means checking for ground rent and reading the title work closely: ground rent in Baltimore, explained and title insurance in Maryland.

Questions buyers ask me

How much do homes in Guilford cost?

In the 12 months to November 12, 2026, 27 detached Guilford homes sold through Bright MLS for a median of $925,000, from $269,500 to $3,550,000. Six attached homes sold for a median of $402,500, from $215,000 to $580,000, and 23 condominiums for a median of $339,000, from $110,000 to $620,000.

Is there an HOA in Guilford?

Not a typical one. Every Guilford deed carries the Roland Park Company's Deed and Agreement covenants, and the Guilford Association enforces them: any exterior change, including paint colors and significant landscaping, needs written approval from its Architectural Committee. Condominiums have their own associations and fees.

Is Guilford a historic district?

It's been a National Register district since 2001, but it isn't a Baltimore City (CHAP) historic district, so the Guilford Association's review is the one that applies.

What are property taxes like in Guilford?

Guilford is in Baltimore City, so the City rate applies: $2.248 per $100 of assessed value for fiscal 2027, plus the state's $0.112. Look up a specific house's assessment on the Maryland SDAT site.

Which schools serve Guilford?

Guilford is in Baltimore City Public Schools. Check any address with the school system's own lookup, because boundaries and enrollment rules can change.
