The community's boundaries form an inverted pyramid shape, with Frederick Avenue (north) drawing a line across the top from Baltimore County (west) to South Beechfield Avenue (east). Frederick Avenue, Maryland Route 144, becomes Frederick Road as it continues west into Baltimore County. Beechfield's eastern boundary begins at the intersection of Beechfield Avenue and Frederick Avenue (north) to the point where the Baltimore County line crosses Beechfield Avenue (south), the apex of the Beechfield pyramid.[1]
After passing through Yale Heights on its way from DundalktoCatonsville, the MTA Citylink Purple line turns north onto Beechfield Avenue from Cedar Garden Road. It turns left onto Frederick Avenue, then heads west along Route 144 into Baltimore County.[3]
Quickbus Route 46 stops at Beechfield Avenue and Thornfield Avenue in Beechfield while traveling between the Paradise Avenue loop and the Cedonia loop. It operates only on weekdays, from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m.[4]
The UMBC shuttle bus, owing to an influx of international students living in apartment complexes and housing around the area, makes 41 stops along Beechfield's east and north boundaries.[5]
