State Center station (formerly State Center/Cultural Center station) is an underground Baltimore Metro SubwayLink station in Baltimore, Maryland. It is a transit hub offering connections to the Baltimore Light RailLink system, the tenth most northern and western station on the line, the first one in the area viewed by many as "downtown Baltimore," and is within a 2 block walk of the Cultural Center station on the Light RailLink system, via Preston Street, and many area landmarks.
The stations elevator and escalator entrance is located on the corner of West Preston Street and North Eutaw Street which is directly adjacent to the Maryland States Office Complex, hence the name "State Center." It is within the boundaries of the Madison Park neighborhood and is also very close to the adjacent neighborhoods of Bolton Hill, Mid-Town Belvedere, Mount Vernon, and Seton Hill.
