A growing suburb on Baltimore's north side
Though an established residential strip since the 1920s, the Herring Run Park neighborhood hasn’t reached its final form. Consisting solely of quiet residential streets, it’s easy to forget that the community sits in northeast Baltimore.“The area is slowly developing. There’s talk of them opening a lot of outlets nearby, but other than that, it’s still in development,” Realtor Lening Rivera of Samson Properties explains.
Herring Run Park has ample wildflower gardens, perfect for the honeybees that can be found.
Only a few minutes from downtown Baltimore, Herring Run Park is convenient, safe and beautiful.

Rowhouses and duplexes line quiet streets
About 4 miles from downtown, the neighborhood comprises fewer than 400 homes along a few quiet streets. Made up primarily of rowhouses and duplexes, the Herring Run Park community features homes with compact front porches and minimalistic yards. While some residences feature mansard roofs and fully brick exteriors, others include Tudor-style influences. Because Herring Run Park borders the neighborhood, front doors along Chesterfield Avenue and Shannon Drive face extensive green spaces and mature trees. Turnkey three-bedroom houses range from $100,000 to $180,000, while four-bedroom homes cost between $180,000 and $205,000.
These brick rowhomes are packed tightly together, and Herring Run residents add their own vibes.
Brick duplexes are a common sight in Herring Run, with well-maintained covered stone porches.

Outdoor fun includes parks, indoor sports and the local YMCA
Recently discovered to have been a campsite for Native Americans over 11,000 years ago, the park granting the community its namesake consists of 375 acres of forested green space. Walk or bike along the park’s multi-mile trail to Morgan State University or head in the opposite direction toward Interstate 895. The park also houses playgrounds throughout, including Brehms Lane and Parkside Drive, providing many spaces to burn off some energy after school. To practice your footwork and score a goal, grab your soccer ball and head to Father Hooper Fields, also housed in the park. “They have a lot of events there, open to anybody as well, but of course, they do it for the community—just to get people outside and to get to know their neighbors,” Rivera says. Recent renovations in the park connect the community to Lake Montebello, which is conveniently less than a mile away. Bring your dog for a walk around the lake’s 1.5-mile trail or enjoy a round of disc golf along the water’s edge.
To add variety to your evening and weekend adventures, find additional recreational opportunities within a 2-mile radius of the neighborhood. At Clifton Park, dig your trowel in the dirt in the community garden to test out your green thumb or swing your clubs at the golf course overlooking the mansion that signifies the park’s past as the estate of Johns Hopkins. To keep warm in winter while staying active, take advantage of the indoor basketball court and gathering spaces at Herring Run Recreation Center, or for a gym and an indoor pool, visit the Weinberg YMCA in Waverly.
