21214 is northeast Baltimore's Harford Road corridor: Hamilton, Lauraville, Arcadia, Glenham-Belford and Moravia-Walther, a mix of Craftsman bungalows, porch-front singles and short rowhouse blocks. Herring Run Park cuts through it, and Good Samaritan Hospital on Loch Raven Boulevard is the closest full-service hospital. Small assisted living homes here sit on ordinary residential streets, so families often find one within a few blocks of the house a parent has lived in for decades.
