Cameron Village
Classic brick row homes with yard space
The red brick row homes of Cameron Village are classic in Baltimore, constructed in the midcentury with short, roofed front porches and decorative metal awnings. These homes were designed to sit back from the street, with front lawns that some residents choose to garden or landscape. Priced between $150,000 and $225,000, properties typically have backyard space, too, making for a comfortable, green neighborhood. Street parking is available along curved residential avenues, though some developments have small parking lots or cemented backyard space for optional parking.

Less than a mile from Belvedere Square
Both Shoppers and Family Dollar are located off The Alameda, the closest stops for the essentials. Giant, Lidl and Safeway are all within 3 miles, however, along with Belvedere Square. This market is well-known across the city for its diverse eateries and shops. “The market is right there in the neighborhood, maybe 5 blocks away,” Gregory says. “It’s literally within walking distance, and it’s practically a smaller-scale Union Market.” From fresh-squeezed juice to smoked sandwiches and Korean BBQ, guests have plenty of options to choose from after perusing the fresh flowers. Over the summer, guests can even enjoy a summer concert series on Friday nights in the courtyard.

Choice schools in Baltimore City
Students attend Baltimore City Public Schools, zoned first for Govans Elementary with a C-minus on Niche. Families are given a choice option for middle and high school. Some opt for Turnbridge Public Charter Middle School, with a B-minus on Niche, while others attend Leith Walk Elementary/Middle School, with a C-minus on Niche. Earning the same score, Merganthaler Vocational Technical High School—colloquially known as “MERVO”—is a college-prep institution with career-centered programming. Parents might also consider Mercy High School, a private, all-girls college prep school with an A-minus on Niche.

Parks to the east and west
Dewees Park is an 18-acre green space with athletic fields, basketball courts, a playground and an urban garden where residents can rent their own plots. But on the other side of Chinquapin Run is its titular park, more than quadruple the size of Dewees. Extending along the Chinquapin Stream Corridor—a major tributary to nearby Herring Run and a part of the larger Back River Watershed—this stream’s lush plant life and dense tree coverage make for beautiful walks and picnics. Featuring a playground, athletic fields and tennis courts, residents can take pride in having this expansive park in their backyard.

Reaching the downtown scene
Greenmount Avenue takes locals about 6 miles into Downtown Baltimore, though MTA bus stops are located along The Alameda and York Road. Residents can take the latter about 4 miles north into Towson or head 3 miles south to Johns Hopkins University, a major employer in the greater Baltimore area. Cameron Village is also within a 2-mile radius of both Morgan State University and Loyola University Maryland. MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital is located less than a mile away off Loch Raven Boulevard, serving as the neighborhood’s closest emergency room. Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport is a 17-mile commute on MD-295, while DC is a 44-mile trip on the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. 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.
