A brighter future for Ellwood Park
Ellwood Park, anchored by a large community green space, serves as a primarily residential sector of East Baltimore. While this area faces many of the modern-day challenges of urban living, like high CAP Index Crime Scores for violent crimes, illegal trash dumping and neglected housing, Ellwood is currently working toward revitalization. Organizations like the Historic East Baltimore Community Action Coalition (HEBCAC) and BaltiMurals work to rehabilitate the housing and bring life back into the streets. The Southeast Community Development Corporation (CDC) also helps counsel and assist current owners and buyers. “The Southeast CDC does work beyond just restoring homes,” says Realtor Julie Kolb with Chesapeake Residential Realty and an active participant of East Baltimore improvement projects. “It establishes community outreach and works to revitalize the neighborhood as a whole.” For example, installments of string lights increase both visibility and safety at night, and rain gardens add a touch of native plants, while also helping to improve water quality. Residents have historically chosen Ellwood Park for its relative affordability and convenient locale off Route 40, and with revitalization projects in place, it continues to become a more desirable community.
Ellwood Park is a nice neighborhood on the outskirts of Baltimore.

Rowhouses for auction and refurbished options
Residential real estate consists exclusively of traditional Baltimore row houses with red-brick facades and small front porches. With more renovations in the area, more buyers have chosen to invest before living costs increase. “Homeownership has been renewed here, especially with prices under $200,000,” Kolb says. Row houses up for auction tend to start around $25,000 to about $80,000. Homes in better condition or with recent rehabilitation can reach about $340,000, though most fall between $100,000 and $250,000. Navigating Ellwood Park can be difficult, as the streets are all lined with sidewalks, identical housing and scattered tree boxes. In recent years, BaltiMurals has decorated some of the corner houses with vibrant paintings, adding some differentiation to an otherwise uniform layout.
Ellwood Park is predominantly row homes.
