Historic charm in Allendale
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.
Allendale has a variety of brick homes with front staircases and lawns.
Children in Allendale love to frolic on the playground at the Mary E. Rodman Recreation Center.
