Classic Baltimorean properties in Parkside
Bordering Herring Run Park, gridded residential streets in Parkside are lined with red brick row homes ranging in price between $100,000 and $250,000. These traditional Baltimore properties sometimes feature shaded front porches with decorative awnings and short sidewalks or stairs leading to the front door. Street parking is often required, though many opt to park in the fenced-in backyard space. The roads may not be even, and the homes aren’t always turn-key, but locals make it feel like home with small gardens, sheds, grills and patio furniture. “Many residents prefer this area for its suburban mentality,” explains Melvin Knight, a lifelong Baltimore resident and Realtor with Coldwell Banker. “The homes offer yards, easy parking and it’s convenient to I-95 and the beltway.”

With a playground, half-basketball court and pedestrian bridge, the area yields scenic views and a refreshing commune with nature just a few miles from the city center. As one of 50 centers run by Baltimore City, the Herring Run Recreation Center offers diverse programs for children and adults alike. Lake Montebello, however, is just two miles north, with pedestrian paths wrapping around the water.

From Pickles Pub to Druid Hill Park
M&T Bank Stadium is about 10 miles south in Baltimore City, where Ravens fans from across the state flock during football season. Next door, Camden Yards is notorious for its pregame tradition at Pickles Pub, which fills to capacity whenever the O’s are home. Similarly, the Inner Harbor is packed on Independence Day when fireworks light up the night sky over the water. Later in the summer, Artscape attracts thousands of guests to check out hundreds of local artists spread out across the University of Baltimore campus. Held in Druid Hill Park, AFRAM is one of the largest African American festivals on the East Coast. From food vendors to performers and artists, the 745-acre landscape is packed every year.
If you need a ride to the city, there are bus stops throughout all of Parkside.
Navigating Baltimore with MTA
Residents of Parkside have access to MTA bus stops along Bowleys Lane and Sinclair Lane, a popular method of transportation in the city. Though many commuters opt to have personal vehicles, living in such proximity to Downtown Baltimore means public transportation is highly accessible. Regardless, locals can take Route 1, Belair Road, 4 miles to the Inner Harbor or 3 miles southwest to The Johns Hopkins Hospital. Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport is about 18 miles away via Interstate 95. Those looking to reach the suburbs can take Route 40 to avoid too much traffic, which cuts through the city and stretches near Ellicott City and Catonsville.
Shopping and dining on a budget
Though Parkside is surrounded by intimate bodegas, residents can find big-name grocery stores within a couple of miles of the neighborhood. Giant is situated east along Sinclair Lane, while Save A Lot is just west, off Route 40. Both Safeway and Aldi are north, a 2-mile commute. Carryout restaurants and fast food are the closest dining options to most residences. From Checkers to Popeyes, Pizza Bolis, Chinese spots and Michael’s pizza and subs, there are plenty of options for a quick and easy dinner. Discount stores like Roses and Family Dollar are close by, as well.
