  • 225 N Calvert has a pool on the roof. It's pretty nice. It is also accessible for wheelchairs. Nice view of east and southeast Baltimore, including a bit of the harbor.
  • 300 Saint Paul Place also has a pool on the roof. It is smaller than the pool at 225 N Calvert. It is not accessible... I don't know what people were thinking when they converted that building from offices to apartments. I want to say it is an easterly view. I didn't like the view as much as 225 N Calvert.
  • Someone already mentioned the pool at 500 Park, on the 3rd or 4th level. It's about the same as 225 N Calvert, but 500 Park is more resort-y and 225 N Calvert has the city view that makes it unique. The 500 Park pool is also accessible. You have a view of Park Ave and a courtyard backing up to some of the apartments in the building.
  • Luminary at One Light has a really nice pool. I don't know what level it is on, I only toured the building. I do not recall if it is accessible. I remember being impressed by the pool area. The common areas reminded me of being in a treehouse? It was cool and different. Possibly the best view of the 4. It's been a while, cannot recall.

Basically many of the high rise buildings are likely to have a pool.

I grew up locally in Timonium (where ‘pool season’ is an actual season) and spent my 30s in the ‘traditional’ downtown Baltimore CBD in buildings with pools as described. The advice given above is spot on. Currently live in downtown Towson and there are a half-dozen great options I’d be willing to recommend via PM but not trying to give away my specific location. This is my opinion and mine only, but unless you’re stuck on Baltimore, forget Harbor East/Canton/Federal Hill. May as well move to DC or NYC if that’s what you really want. Price difference for a higher-end studio or small 1br (based on what I think OP is describing) would be negligible.
