The neighborhood is bounded by Lombard Street to the North, Kane Street to the East, Eastern Avenue to the South, and I-895 to the West. Also included in this area is the Joseph Lee neighborhood. Historically, this neighborhood was referred to as "A to K" due to the alphabetical naming of the streets Anglesea, Bonsal, Cornwall, Drew, Elrino, Folcroft, Gusryan, Hornel, Imla, Joplin, and Kane.[3] However, a previous consecutive-alphabet scheme also lies to the south and west of the neighborhood, with these streets being Quail, Rappolla, Savage, Tolna and Umbra. There are no streets starting with V, W, X, Y or Z before resetting to A with Anglesea.

Central to this neighborhood is the 130-acre (0.53 km2) Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. Also found on the campus are two branches of the National Institutes of Health, the National Institute on Aging and the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
