Allendale
Neighborhood in Baltimore, Maryland
Baltimore City 21229
Designed in the early 1920s by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., the neighborhood of Allendale shares its origin story with that of the city’s public transit system. As the trolley system expanded into and beyond the suburbs, so too did Allendale. Later, with the addition of the Hilton Parkway in the 1930s and the 1947 construction of the Edmondson Village Shopping Center (one of the chicest malls of the time) Allendale continued to boom. Today, Allendale is a densely populated residential community in Southwest Baltimore with plenty of history and charm.
Housing stock in Allendale is comprised solely of traditional-style two-storied row homes, featuring red-brick facades, short front stoops, and narrow front & back yards. The average housing cost here is $134,000, which includes three to four bedrooms and two baths. Many residents here don decorative awnings over their doors, porches, and windows; or opt to plant flowers along their entryway. Parking in Allendale is available in rear lots or on the surrounding streets. For those looking to rent, this neighborhood also offers one- and two-bedroom apartment options.
While you won’t find big box retailers here, the area does offer a variety of mini-marts and convenience stores throughout the area. For all of the essential amenities like large-scale grocery stores, pharmacies, and gas stations, residents can find what they need at the Edmonson Village Shopping Center, less than 2-miles away. Featuring a Giant Food supermarket, Family Dollar, and many casual eateries like America’ Best Wings, Kimmy’s Restaurant and Carry Out, and a Popeyes, you can knock out of all of you errands in one fell swoop.
History buffs will enjoy admiring their neighborhood’s local landmarks, like the Edmonson Village Shopping Center built in 1927, or the Mount Olive Baptist Church housed in the former Edgewood Theater. Built in 1930, by renowned architect, John Zink, it features Neo-classical designs and could house over 1200 people. Nearby, Saint Bernadine’s Roman Catholic Church, built in 1929, towers over Edmonson Avenue and features intricate stonework and stained-glass windows.
Students here attend Baltimore City Public Schools, like Mary E. Rodman Elementary. Serving over 400 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grades, this school’s namesake was renowned teacher Mary E. Rodman, member of the first graduating class of students from an all African-American public high school in 1889. Today, the elementary school, and the adjacent Mary E. Rodman Recreation Center, continues to serve as a community gathering place, offering enrichment activities and classes, for children and adults alike.
And when residents are in need of a change of pace, they’ll love their proximity to downtown Baltimore. Catch the City Link Bus on the blue line or take a short drive down I-40, to get to the Inner Harbor. Visit the National Aquarium, eat some mussels and crabs, or simply enjoy the waterfront promenade. With seemingly endless options, you can spend a few hours or an entire weekend here.
Welcome to Allendale, a cozy neighborhood in Southwest Baltimore.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
