Charles Village is a good area that's quiet and young, lots of JHU and MICA students mixed with working class and PMC folks. Pride usually starts in Charles village, and some protest marches start there. If I had to guess, most of the activist population lives there and in adjacent neighborhoods.
Mount Vernon is the gaybourhood. It's more expensive than Charles Village and has more stuff going on (restaurants, gay bars etc). I'd say it's a bit more bougie but the northern part is mostly young students.
Station North is between the last two neighborhoods. It's a little less polished than both, more diverse and lower income. It's the kind of neighborhood where basically everyone is between the ages of 18-50, with the older folks being poorer. Virtually no kids live there and there are lots of events around here. Artscape happens here every summer which is the city's largest art festival and one of the largest in the region. You can easily walk to/from here from the other neighborhoods I mentioned.
Remington is and white working class neighborhood that declined in the 90s, stagnated for years and now is starting to be gentrified. It's West of Charles Village, and is mostly quiet and the houses are almost entirely 2-3br rowhomes. It's more expensive to live here just because there aren't a lot of apartments but it's still not expensive for what you get. A lot of young married couples buy homes there, which are usually in the $150k-250k range. A couple nice spots including R. Haus and 29th Street Tavern.
Hampden used to also be a poor white neighborhood originally based around mills along the Jones Falls, it has basically been gentrified by now with probably 15% of the population being the native "white trash". It's a part of a unique series of neighborhoods in the middle of the city that are secluded by a large park and highway on one side and JHU and a small river on the other. Hampden, Medfield and Woodbury seem like their own small milling town that you'd see in the mountains of PA except they're smack in the middle of the city. Very interesting places but the fastest gentrifying neighborhoods in the city. Hampden is always jumping while Medfield and Woodbury are more residential, cheaper and has more of the native blue collar white folks.
