Madison Park
Neighborhood Reviews
Rowhomes for rent or purchase
Though Madison Park is close to many businesses, the neighborhood is primarily residential. Traditional Italianate or Federal rowhomes feature simple red brick facades, ornate brownstone, marble, and granite. Many homes were constructed in the early 19th century with white marble stoops, iron balconies, and ornamental detailing around doors and windows. According to data from Homes.com, most Madison Park residents rent their rowhome units. Those looking to buy a home or a mixed-use residential and retail space to rent out themselves choose from options ranging from $210,000 to $630,000.

Local grocers and Mt. Vernon dining
Locals live down the street from corner stores like Johnson's Grocery, but they can head to the Save A Lot on Jordan Street for most of their essentials. Sophisticated Mediterranean fare awaits across the median at The Tilted Row, and for more dining options, residents are a short walk or ride to Charles Street in Mount Vernon. Depending on their mood, they can pick from chain options like Chipotle, popular coffee and breakfast spots like Baby's on Fire and Allora, Afghani, Spanish and New American restaurants, and cocktail lounges and brewpubs.

Event space and community initiatives in Madison Park
Conceived by community members as a hub for local arts, job training and more, Baltimore Unity Hall sits right on the other side of Eutaw Place. Artist studios and co-working spaces are available for rent, as well as a shared kitchen and even an auditorium. Locals catch an Os game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards or see a show at The Lyric Opera House; they head to Mt. Vernon for nightlife. Madison Park is also home to the Lillie Carroll Jackson Civil Rights Museum, a free museum located in Dr. Jackson's home, which Morgan State University restored.

Schools for Madison Park students
The Baltimore City Public Schools board plans to close Eutaw Marshburn Elementary School, which is central within the community, at the end of the 2023 school year, along with nearby Steuart Hill Academy and New Era Academy. If the closure passes, students will be zoned for Dorothy I. Height Elementary School, Historic Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Elementary School or Furman Templeton Preparatory Academy. The latter two each earn a C-minus from Niche. From there, they may attend Booker T. Washington Middle School—also earning a C-minus—before finishing at Frederick Douglass High School. Founded in 1883, the high school once taught Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and earns a C from Niche. Madison Park is also close to the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), the oldest independent degree-granting college of art and design in the United States, and The University of Baltimore.

Indoor and outdoor recreation near Madison Park
Eutaw Place Median Park forms a tree-shaded walkway that runs the length of the Madison Park neighborhood, separating it from nearby Boltin Hill. This urban centerpiece features fountains, flowering trees and benches. Locals can head across the median to Arnold E. Sumpter Park for open green spaces, a turf playground and plenty of paths for walking the dog. The Y in Druid Hill is just around the corner for workouts and rainy-day activities, along with the sports courts and clubrooms at Robert C. Marshall Recreation Center and Shake & Bake Family Fun Center.

Getting around Baltimore from Madison Park
Locals can walk to State Center Station, a Light RailLink stop that’s central to the downtown area. They’re within walking distance to nearby museums, grocery stores and MICA campus, as well as several CityLink bus stops lining North Avenue and Eutaw Place. The community is also a mile away from Baltimore’s Penn Station. An active hub for both the MARC and AMTRAK trains, commuters can get to Washington D.C. and the surrounding areas with ease. UMMC Midtown Campus is less than a mile away in case of a medical emergency, and for commercial flights, residents head 11 miles south on Maryland 295 to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.Balancing quiet streets and city sounds
Limited through-traffic between North Avenue and Lafayette Avenue makes for quiet days in most of the Madison Park community. Still, those interested should keep in mind that the sound of the city are a fact of life here, especially during major events. According to the CAP Index Scoring System, crime risk in Madison Park is a 7/10.

Niche Review
Gorgeous old homes and a quiet neighborhood. Have had some food deliveries swiped from my front steps but otherwise it doesn't feel like an unsafe neighborhood. Close to Penn Station and the subway and not too far from Mt. Vernon's plethora of eateries and shops.
