Century-old architecture in Lake Evesham
Lake Evesham has 1920s-style bungalows, which is the most common architecture style aside from Cape Cods. “All of the houses are unique. No two are exactly alike,” explains Mike Fielder, long-time resident and Realtor with the Key Home Team of Berkshire Hathaway. Four Squares, Dutch Colonials, Tudor cottages and wood-shingled Victorians also dot the map, with the occasional townhouse community. Detached homes are spread out, and most feature details like painted shutters, decorative shingles, large front porches and ample yard spaces. The average cost of a home in Lake Evesham is $450,000 with price points varying depending on the age, size and condition of the property. Townhouse options typically fall between $250,000 and $350,000. “Most of the homes here are almost 100 years old and are relatively affordable for the area. You get the old world feel, but houses are also very cozy and updated,” Dickinson says.Getting active and outdoors in Lake Evesham
Outdoor amenities can be found as close as half a mile away at Evesham Park, which offer green space, a playground and picnic areas. The larger Chinquapin Run Park is situated along the water and has a playground, tennis courts and sports fields about 1 mile away. Plant lovers can visit the nearby Dewees Park, which has a community garden and city farm. Dickinson mentions that the Homeland Lakes are a 10-minute walk away, where residents can stroll with their pets along the footpaths or watch the coy fish and ducks swim among the fountains. For those who would rather get outside in a more urban setting, Downtown Baltimore’s Inner Harbor is 9 miles away. Here, locals can catch an O's game, visit the National Aquarium or walk the waterfront promenade.Private- and public-school options in Lake Evesham
Students in the Lake Evesham neighborhood are zoned for Baltimore City Public Schools. Children prekindergarten through Grade 8 are assigned to Roland Park Elementary Middle, which scores a B-plus on Niche and ranks the highest in the district. High schoolers have school choice, meaning students can apply to any of the options in the district. Western High is the closest to the neighborhood and scores a B-minus on Niche. Residents are about 3 miles from the top public high school in the district: A-rated Baltimore Polytechnic Institute. For a private pre-K through Grade 12 option, Friends School of Baltimore, founded in 1784, is about 1 mile away and scores an A-plus, with a 100% graduation rate.Neighbors are comrades in Lake Evesham
Though Lake Evesham comprises only 250 households, there is no shortage of events and activity. “It’s got a real community feel,” says Fielder. “We have neighborhood events like crab, chicken and shrimp feasts, ice cream socials, yard sales and summer block parties.” Neighbors often enjoy spending time together in Lake Evesham, and it is not unusual to see folks socializing on their front porches. “It’s very family-oriented,” adds Fielder. “On any given afternoon, you’ll see about 15 residents riding their bikes outside.”Getting around Lake Evesham
While the neighborhood is solely residential, its proximity to major thoroughfares York Road and Northern Parkway provides residents with easy access to everyday essentials like gas stations, grocery stores and restaurants. Dickinson says traffic is relatively light aside from York Road, and public transportation is reliable via the Maryland Transit Administration. For those who enjoy getting around by foot, “within a short five-minute walk, you can be at the center of it all,” Fielder says. Air travel is available about 15 miles south at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI).Big-box stores, Belvedere Square and The Senator Theater
One of the most popular attractions in North Baltimore is Belvedere Square Market: a revered commercial hub featuring restaurants, boutiques and an extensive food market. For comfort food, Atwater’s has coffee, soup and gourmet sandwiches on house-baked bread. Those who lack a sweet tooth can visit Neopol Savory Smokery, which serves up smoked meats, seafood and cheese pies that fly off the shelves. Come springtime, the outdoor courtyard seating fills up quickly, especially during Friday night Summer Sounds’ live music from May to September. Drawing 10,000 visitors a week, this year-round market is just across York Road from Lake Evesham. A couple doors down is the historic Senator Theater, which screens cult classics, oldies and new releases in an Art Deco building erected in 1939. Visitors here see films in a laid-back atmosphere, sitting in old-school plush folding chairs, accompanied by local food offerings, such as made-to-order eats and drinks from Clark Burger. Giant Food, Walgreens, Target and Walmart all sit within 4 miles of the neighborhood for groceries and other everyday essentials. Retail options, such as Macy’s and Nordstrom, can also be found 3 miles north at Towson Town Center.
