A community around 6 lakes in Baltimore
In the north end of Baltimore sits Homeland, a neighborhood filled with architectural beauty built during the Great Depression. With 6 lakes at the center of the neighborhood, sidewalks and walking paths throughout the community, residents are immersed in the natural landscape of Homeland just steps away from home. “And in the Spring, there’s a sea of pink and yellow from the cherry blossoms and daffodils around the lakes. The lakes are the center of activity here,” says Saro Dedeyan, a Realtor with Cummings & Company Realtors who was a resident of Homeland for 20 years. These man-made lakes were dug in 1843 in a line down Springlake Way. “The association doesn’t have a clubhouse, so much of the area’s activities are going to be outside and around the lakes.” says Dedeyan. The lakes and landscaping in this neighborhood means Homeland feels less like a bustling Baltimore neighborhood and more like a peaceful escape.
Footpaths lead you to the lakes of Homeland.
Homeland offers a wide variety of homes to choose from.

Architectural guidelines preserving older homes
“It’s the preservation of the historic homes that keep the architecture stunning,” says Dedeyan. “Before moving in, residents have to understand the strict guidelines necessary for upkeep of the homes.” Some of the guidelines include that shutters must be wood and operable with the proper hardware, backyard fences can only be 42 inches tall and that most of the roofs are slate and must be replaced with slate and not a cheaper substitute when upkeep is necessary. Homes range from single-family red brick homes to grand Georgian and Tudor Revival mansions, some of which have ivy crawling up the side. While some brick duplexes are available for $300,000, most single-family homes begin around $400,000 and can reach $1.4 million depending on the amount of bedrooms, the square footage, the architecture and the amount of preservation and/or upkeep necessary for the home. Most homes are Colonial Revival style with many windows, brick exteriors and extra amenities ranging from a second-floor porch, a third floor transformed into primary suites, built-in bookshelves and fireplaces. Historic buildings are also found within The Church of the Redeemer, first founded in 1856 and its Gothic architecture, as well as the Enoch Pratt Library, built in 1921.

Nearby private schools and high-ranking public schools
Students can attend Roland Park Elementary/Middle school, which receives a B-plus from Niche, for kindergarten through eighth grade. Roland Park is one of three Ingenuity Project middle schools in Baltimore, a separate program within the school that students must apply for. The Ingenuity Project centers around students taking advanced science and math courses to help prepare them for a career in the STEM field. Baltimore does not zone high schools, so students may attend Baltimore Polytechnic Institute (POLY) and offers Advanced Placement classes as well as the opportunity to continue following the Ingenuity Project to better focus on college preparatory classes. Poly receives an A from Niche. Homeland is also close to several private schools, including The Bryn Mawr School for girls and the Gilman School for boys. Both schools are for kindergarten through twelfth grade and receive an A-plus from Niche.
Baltimore Polytechnic Institute was founded in 1883 and the servers the students Homeland.

Interstate to the west, buses around and walking throughout
There is no public transportation within the neighborhood, but there are several bus stops that go along the outside of the neighborhood, leading across Baltimore. Interstate 83 is about 2 miles to the west, taking residents further into Baltimore or further north through Pennsylvania. “It truly is a walking neighborhood. You walk your dog, with your children, with groups. People are out and about,” Dedeyan says.
Lakes at the center of it all with community events
Homeland offers several community events throughout the year, such as a Halloween Party for children and carolers on Christmas Eve. The event only lasts about half an hour, but children rehearse beforehand, creating a very organized event. “When I went, it was awesome,” says Dedeyan. “It’s cold and you’re all huddled together and singing with the children. It truly was a neighborhood event.”
