Established in 1772, the historic mill town of Dickeyville is a charming community tucked away behind Gwynn Falls/Leakin Park in West Baltimore.

Comprised of over 140 homes, the majority of Dickeyville’s original structures were built to house mill workers and their families during the early 19th century. Today, these homes have been lovingly restored and range in style from colonials and cottages to Cape Cods and even a few row homes. Houses in Dickeyville feature stone walls and clapboard exteriors, which are further accentuated by white picket fences, lush gardens and wrap around front porches. The average sales price in Dickeyville is $410,000, but price points vary depending on the age, size and condition of the home.

Contoured by the local Gwynn Falls River—the powerhouse of this community’s former paper and textile mills—today, Dickeyville’s small dam and open green spaces serve as a gathering place for annual celebrations, like the Dickeyville Bonfire, an autumnal tradition. Other annual events, like the Fourth of July Parade and barbeque, a pancake breakfast, Halloween trick or treating, and Village clean ups, are sponsored by the Dickeyville Community Association and The Dickeyville Garden Club.

Students here attend Baltimore City Public Schools like Dickey Hill Elementary/Middle and Forest Park High. Serving nearly 850 students in ninth through twelfth grades, this high school offers a dual enrollment program for earning college credits early, as well as a wide variety of clubs from the SGA, and a Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship, to a Future Business Leaders of America group.

For some time outdoors, residents can enjoy shared spaces like the Dickeyville dam, or head out and explore neighboring Gwynn Falls/Leakin Park. The Gwynn Falls Trail, a 15-mile urban hiking and biking trail, contours the stream valley and provides scenic views and acres upon acres of woodlands.

For those who want to stay closer to home, a self-guided walking tour might just be the thing for you. History is everywhere in Dickeyville, you just have to know where to look. From the Belgian stone gutters to the former trolley trails and many historic buildings, you can browse the Dickeyville Memorial Presbyterian Church, the Former Mill Warehouse, or the Ashland Chapel, and still be home in time for supper.

And when you need a change of pace, remember Dickeyville is centrally located and provides direct access to major thoroughfares like I-95 and I-70 for quick and easy commutes.

This is Dickeyville, a hidden gem in West Baltimore.

GreatSchools: 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.
