Nature and neighbors thrive in Southwest Baltimore’s Gwynns Falls
The neighborhood of Gwynns Falls in Southwest Baltimore is a diverse close-knit community working together to foster change. Primarily residential, Gwynns Falls abuts the local railway and is also home to several industrial and manufacturing organizations, as well as a BG&E substation. Despite this, the community also includes several pockets of woodlands, open green spaces and proximity to both Maidens Choice Run and the Lower Gwynns Falls Park. Giving off friendly and welcoming vibes, this neighborhood is the type of place where you’ll find little free libraries, community gardens and neighbors chatting with one another on their front stoops.
Vacant lots turned into vibrant parks and gathering spots
While Gwynns Falls has suffered from years of disinvestment, groups like the Gwynns Falls Community Association, foster collaborative efforts to beautify their spaces. For example, where six vacant lots stood, today stands Mighty Park, a safe, clean urban space created by neighbors for neighbors. Featuring above-ground garden beds for fresh produce, open green spaces, a tire-swing and a massive mural of native birds and plants, the park is a testament to this community’s unity. For some time outdoors, there's always Mighty Park, but for a more expansive space, be sure to check out the Lower Gwynns Falls Park too. Offering a playground, athletic fields and connecting with the greater Gwynns Falls Trailhead, you can hike or bike your way along this urban greenway.
Row houses and American Foursquares with brick facades
Housing options in Gwynns Falls primarily consist of traditional Baltimore row house styles, complete with red brick or stone facades and short front stoops. Some homes feature short-roofed front porches and decorative metal awnings that adorn doors and windows. This area also offers several detached single-family homes in American Four-Square styles. The average sales price here is $125,000, but price points vary depending on the age, size and location of the property.

Serving over 875 students in sixth through twelfth grades, Green Street Academy is a public charter school that puts emphasis on project-based learning and entrepreneurship.
