Evergreen Lawn offers rowhouses and proximity to parks

Evergreen Lawn is a modest, four-block community of classic Baltimore rowhouses, some of which have stood in the city for a century. It’s an appealing landing spot for its proximity to Downtown Baltimore and several city transit corridors within a mile. Since this is a mostly residential area, residents typically shop a couple of miles away at one of Baltimore’s historic public markets or try out establishments along U.S. Route 40. Residents are also next door to the city’s largest green space, Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park.

Evergreen Lawn is close to many buses at the West Baltimore MARC station.

Close to downtown and major city transit lines

Evergreen Lawn’s proximity to downtown and access to city transit lines make it a commuter-friendly neighborhood:

  • Downtown Baltimore is 3 miles east along Route 40
  • The West Baltimore Train Station sits less than a mile south
  • Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport is 10 miles south along Maryland Route 295
  • LocalLink buses stop along main roads like Edmondson Avenue and West Franklin Street

Time-tested rowhomes line neighborhood streets

As part of the Edmondson Avenue Historic District, Evergreen Lawn features original 20th-century architecture along a former streetcar line. The neighborhood’s brick rowhouses were mainly built between the 1920s and the mid-1940s. Homes are priced from $90,000 to the mid-$300,000s, varying by square footage, remodel status and age. Many properties have modest lawn space and parking spaces in the back alleys. “Most of our clients and sales there are with seasoned investors that know the area well,” says Tiffany Hayes, a Realtor with Vybe Realty, with 11 years of experience serving Maryland. “It’s also a good price point for first-time homebuyers.”

Close access to expansive Baltimore parks

Though there are no parks within the neighborhood, Evergreen Lawn residents are never far from popular city green spaces. Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park is the largest contiguous park in the city, and spans over 1,200 acres. Visitors can hike miles of trails, participate in educational and community service programs at the Carrie Murray Nature Center, or enjoy a picnic at various pavilions and shelter areas. The nearby Helen Mackall Park features a playground, basketball courts, and open green fields shaded by Japanese elms. Just under 3 miles north, Druid Hill Park offers swimming pools and disc golf, as well as the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore.

Plenty of city-popular events close to home

While Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park and Druid Hill Park both have a few annual events like nature walks and movie nights, there is a wide range of fun activities in the heart of Baltimore. Orioles fans can catch a game at Camden Yards, and the Ravens play at M&T Bank Stadium; both stadiums sit within 3 miles of the neighborhood. Downtown activities, such as art museums and the Baltimore Soundstage, are also within a 3-mile radius, along with the National Aquarium in the Inner Harbor. “It’s an easy commute to downtown. Public transit is there, and then there’s convenience to drive,” says Shanazar Beasley, a Realtor with Taylor Properties for over 10 years. “It’s literally 15 minutes to get downtown from there.”

What's the crime rate in Evergreen Lawn?
