Quiet West Baltimore living
No two historic rowhomes are the same in West Baltimore's Madison Park neighborhood. The community—which is made up of just three streets, from Eutaw Place to McCullough Street—is blocks from local green spaces, thriving recreation centers, mom-and-pop shops and eateries and is also served by an active community coalition called Promise Heights. Whether they're taking the nearby subway or walking downtown, residents of this West Baltimore community are likely to be close to work, as well as the city's biggest shows, festivals and games.
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.
Madsion Park is known for its large 19th century rowhomes.
Elegant brownstones are a sought-after home style in Madison Park.

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.
Madsion Park is located in close proximity to daily essentials.

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.
Dorothy I. Height Elementary School is a public school serving grades PK-5.
Booker T. Washington Middle School serves students from 6th through the 8th grade.

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.
