Chinquapin Park
Neighborhood in Baltimore, Maryland
Baltimore City 21212
Traditional Baltimore rowhouses
Chinquapin Park’s homes rest along planned streets just wide enough to accommodate street parkers. The three- and four-bedroom single-family homes appear as either bungalows or more modest, traditional Baltimore rowhouses featuring red brick facades, short front stoops and decorative awnings. Visitors will notice that some rowhouses appear in threes and fours, nestled adjacent, while others retain the same architecture but are more spread out. For this reason, yard sizes differ from smaller plots to standard ones fit for a decorative tree or two. Pricing in this neighborhood falls below the national average, with most homes ranging between $210,000 and $300,000. The more expensive single-family dwellings typically fetch a larger and more private yard space.

Passing the time at Chinquapin Run Park
Residents enjoy proximity to nearby Chinquapin Run Park, which encompasses 76 acres along a 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 it the perfect setting for a walk or a picnic. The park also features a playground where little ones can burn extra energy. Adults can practice their serve at the tennis court or try the open soccer field.Getting the grade in Chinquapin Park
Students here can attend Govans Elementary, a C-minus-rated charter school that serves prekindergarten through fifth grade and offers a free 33-week after-school program. When they reach Booker T. Washington Middle, also rated C-minus by Niche, students can explore a variety of artistic programs like dance, theater and music. Reginald F. Lewis High earns the same grade from Niche and has a unique curriculum featuring law and agricultural studies.A weekend indoors at the Senator Theatre
Every visit to the area is complete with a trip to the historic Senator Theatre, which has been a community favorite since 1939. This Art Deco building screens everything from cult classics and old favorites to new releases. The laid-back vibe, made-to-order burgers from Clark Burger, and the fully stocked beer and wine make for a perfect night out with a date or friends.

Utilizing the CityLink
Locals can walk to most of the amenities in the neighborhood quickly. For areas and attractions out of reach by foot, the CityLink red line runs south straight into the heart of Downtown Baltimore. Because of its walkability and accessibility, residents aren’t wholly dependent on driving themselves to get around.A meal at Belvedere Square
Belvedere Square is a charming commercial center in this community. With diverse restaurants, boutiques and an extensive food market, folks won’t run out of new things to try here. Atwater’s bar is ideal for a coffee, soup or gourmet sandwich on house-baked bread. For the carnivores, Neopol Savory Smokery is a must. Serving up smoked meats, seafood and cheese pies that fly off the shelves, Neopol Savory has some of the best smoked goods on this side of the Atlantic. Come springtime, be sure to enjoy the outdoor courtyard seating. This spot hosts Friday night’s Summer Sounds from May to September, featuring live music acts. Just a short drive down Route 45 brings locals to the Asian Market where they can stock up on weekly groceries.
