Tucked away beneath the community of Belair-Edison and located just south of Parkside is where you’ll find the compact neighborhood of Orchard Ridge. Located in Northeast Baltimore, this community, formerly known as Claremont-Freedom, is situated west of Herring Run Park and only minutes away from the Johns Hopkins Hospital Bayview Campus.
Housing options here consist of modern town homes, semi-detached row homes and apartments. Along Sinclair Lane, you’ll find longstanding traditional Baltimore row house styles, featuring two-stories and red-brick facades complete with decorative awnings tastefully hung over doors and windows. South of Sinclair Lane and prior to Federal Avenue, this section of Orchard Ridge features a mixed-use community with options for both renting or owning. Prospective buyers can choose from vibrant modern town house units painted in bright shades of red, orange and yellow; while tenants can choose to rent two- or three-bedroom town homes or opt for a one to three-bedroom apartment option. The average sales price here is $200,000, with price points varying depending on the age, size and location of the property.
Students here attend Baltimore City Public Schools, like Sinclair Elementary, Vanguard Collegiate Middle and Baltimore City College. Serving over 1300 students, Baltimore City College is a public International Baccalaureate World School, offering an intense college-preparatory program for high school students in grades nine through twelve. Established in 1839, this school is easily recognized from afar by its Gothic architecture including its 150-foot tower, nicknamed “Castle on the Hill.” A 34-acre campus, the school has received numerous awards including a “Silver Medal” as one of Maryland’s top public schools. For those seeking alternative options, this area is also home to Archbishop Curley High School, a private all-boys institution.
And when you need some time outdoors, Orchard Ridge's proximity to Herring Run Park means having 375-acres of nature right at your front door. Featuring woodlands and valleys, plus the Herring Run Stream running down the middle, residents can enjoy hiking the area’s many trails, or break out the old fishing pole and enjoy some quiet time by the stream. For a change of pace, a visit to neighboring Belair-Edison's Clifton Park grants you access to a public golf course, clay tennis courts and many walking trails.
While Orchard Ridge is primarily residential, there are plenty of essential amenities right next door to this community. Directly along Erdman Avenue, you’ll find casual eateries, like McDonalds and Nephew’s Pizza, mini-marts options like 7-Eleven and a Family Dollar Store. For a weekend outing, local Oliver Brewing Company, is open Saturdays and Sundays so you can sample their latest creations. Try one of their eccentrically-named brews like their “This Floor is Snakes” IPA, or the sour “Shaken Not Stirred – Painkiller.” Feeling like something a little less bold opt for the “Social Lager” and call it a night.
Another perk of living in Orchard Ridge? With proximity to I-895, Pulaski Highway, and Belair Road, you're always just minutes from where you need to be.
