Baumhofer's parents immigrated from Germany.
His father Henry (Heinrich) came from Oldenburg, his mother Marie from Hanover.
He was born and grew up in Brooklyn where his father had become a clerk at a local coffee company and then, in 1918, janitor at an apartment building, a situation which enabled the family to live rent free.
She was most active with art déco fashion and commercial illustrations in the 1920s and 1930s
Graduating from high school in 1922, Baumhofer went on a scholarship to Pratt Institute, where he studied under Dean Cornwell and H. Winfield Scott.
She received a Certificate in Costume and Commercial Illustration from Pratt Institute in 1925, where she met Walter.
In 1925, he began drawing interior illustrations for Adventure magazine.
Scott suggested he submit cover paintings to pulps, and the following year his first pulp cover appeared on Danger Trail.
He moved on to do covers for Doc Savage, Pete Rice, Dime Mystery, Dime Detective
On June 28, 1935, he married to the equally accomplished illustration artist Alureda Leach Baumhofer (b Aug. 20, 1903; d. 1992), nicknamed Rita or Pete.
Joining the American Artists agency in 1937, he sold to slick magazines, including The American Magazine, The American Weekly, Collier's, Cosmopolitan, Esquire, McCalls, Redbook and Woman's Day.

Retiring from freelance magazine illustration, he created portraits, landscapes and Western scenes for fine art galleries.
In the 1950s he worked for men's adventure magazines, such as Argosy, Sports Afield and True.
With the decline of pulps and reader's magazines in the late 1950s and early 1960s, due to the rise of the TV as evening entertainment, Baumhofer's illustrations lost its markets.
