Cherry Hill's roots run deep in Baltimore's African American history
The neighborhood of Cherry Hill in South Baltimore traces its roots back to the end of World War II. A historically African American community, Cherry Hill was a planned suburb, designed to provide housing for the influx of Black steelworkers, returned military veterans and their families circa 1945. Spanning 275 acres on the Cherry Hill Peninsula, this neighborhood offered residents a variety of housing options, including bungalows, two-storied rowhomes and over 1,200 multi-family units. Evolving over time, Cherry Hill has weathered the ups and downs that go hand-in-hand with urban living and disinvestment, and today is known as a place of culture, revitalization and new growth.
Cherry Hill non-profits aim to improve the community
Cherry Hill benefits from local non-profit organizations like the Cherry Hill Development Corporation, or CHDC, which works to promote community equity through activities, including weekly soup kitchens, food pantries and community gardens. Similarly, the Cherry Hill Strong organization is partnering with local residents to advocate for and improve their community’s well-being in the areas of education, economic vitality and housing.
Bungalows and Baltimore rowhouses are common in Cherry Hill
Homes in Cherry Hill consist of detached single-family homes, rowhouses and multi-family public housing units. Prospective buyers can choose from minimalist bungalow or cottage designs or opt for a traditional two-storied Baltimore rowhouse that features red-brick facades and petite front yard spaces. The average sales price is $150,000, with price points varying depending on the age, size and condition of the property.
Baltimore City Public Schools feature brand-new facilities
Students can attend Baltimore City Public Schools, starting at Arundel Elementary School for kindergarten through second grade and then Cherry Hill Elementary/Middle School for third through eighth grade. Both schools receive a C-minus rating from Niche and feature newly constructed state-of-the art school buildings, built under the Baltimore City 21st Century Schools program. Students can then progress to Paul Laurence Dunbar High School, which holds a C rating.
Middle Branch Park offers green space and Patapsco River access
Residents of Cherry Hill enjoy their community’s many pocket parks and playgrounds which are sprinkled throughout the area’s subdivisions. For more time outdoors, the nearby Middle Branch Park offers over 150 acres of shoreline and wide-open spaces along the Middle Branch of the Patapsco River. Home to the Baltimore Rowing and Water Resources Center, it’s not uncommon to see folks out practicing their sculling skills. Another favorite local pastime is fishing, crabbing or taking out a kayak for some cool breezes. Parkgoers can also take in the Baltimore cityscape from the top of the park’s wildlife observatory area and boardwalk.
Local shops line Cherry Hill Road, with bigger stores nearby
For daily essentials, residents of Cherry Hill will find local retailers, mini marts and casual eateries along Cherry Hill Road. For a wider variety of shopping options, residents will have to head over to the Patapsco Plaza Shopping Center to browse shops like the Megamart Baltimore Supermarket, Rose’s Discount department store and the Patapsco Flea Market.
MedStar Harbor Hospital and South Hanover Bridge serve the area
Sharing the peninsula with the MedStar Harbor Hospital campus means proximity to healthcare. A major area employer since 1903, the medical campus features over 131 beds and specialized units for women and infants, as well as behavioral and mental health services.
Despite being on a peninsula, residents of Cherry Hill can get where they need via the South Hanover Bridge, which connects locals to downtown Baltimore. Once there, residents can explore the city's unique neighborhoods or catch a Ravens game at M&T Stadium.

i can basically get essentials from around here but the stores are not appealing to the eyes a lot of times. And this shows signs of poor maintenance. Most businesses around here don't care much because they have a monopoly and the lack of competition makes them relax.

I spent months applying for jobs as far as 30 miles out of the area because employment opportunities are practically non-existent. Lots of people here work retail jobs or store jobs that they are not passionate about just to survive and earn daily bread.

I have heard reports about crimes but I have not experienced any. There is fair police visibility because there is a police station in the neighborhood.
