North Baltimore's 21212 runs along York Road from Govans and Wilson Park to Homeland, Cedarcroft, Lake Evesham and Mid-Govans, and crosses into Baltimore County at Rodgers Forge. York Road links it directly to Towson, so families here routinely weigh a small city program against the larger county communities a ten-minute drive north. GBMC and St. Joseph in Towson, and Good Samaritan to the east, are the nearby hospitals.
