US-40, both North Avenue and Franklin/Mulberry Streets, is within one-half mile. I-95, I-395 and MD-295 (BW Parkway) are easily accessible via MLK, Jr. Boulevard and a handful of alternate north/south streets. Baltimore’s Penn Station, a hub of ongoing development in the area, is less than one-half mile north.
