Finding a home in one of Baltimore’s Healthy Neighborhoods
Neighborhood homes consist of two- and three-story rowhouses. Most date back to 1920 and feature Federal- and Victorian-style architecture, though some builds can be traced to the neighborhood’s initial formation in the 19th century. Many properties in the area are undergoing renovation. “It’s in a transition. If you’re looking for a suburb, this is not it. It’s city life over here,” Chi says. Homes are packed closely together and span city blocks, with trees and shrubbery adding a splash of greenery against the red brick or neutrally repainted buildings. Newly redone homes tend to sell in the $200,000 to $300,000 range, while those in need of restoration often cost below $110,000. Incentives have also been instated for new homebuyers looking in the area. “It’s considered a Healthy Neighborhood, so the city offers programs for first-time buyers, like $10,000 grants to buy a home there,” Chi explains. “It’s an opportunity to get into the neighborhood while it’s still affordable.”A walk away from the multiuse Druid Hill Park
Residents on Druid Hill Avenue or Auchentoroly Terrace in Parkview-Woodbrook get a front-porch view of one of the nation’s oldest parks. “The main draw for people that are buying a home is that that area is still affordable and is directly across the street from Druid Hill Park, which is a great area for families,” Chi says. “It’s a very large park with different festivals and carnivals.” Tennis courts, a swimming pool, a full-length disc golf course and a sizeable botanical conservatory comprise just some of the park’s many recreational activities. While the park remains public, folks can buy a yearly membership, issuing unlimited access to additional events and the Maryland Zoo, home to the largest colony of African penguins in the country. Other outdoor spaces include Hanlon Park, currently under renovation. When Hanlon reopens, visitors can walk the trails, relax in the central plaza or play on the athletic fields and jungle gym.Access to Baltimore City Public Schools
Children can begin their education at Dorothy I. Height Elementary, a relatively new school, unranked by Niche, that opened its doors in 2018. The school was part of Baltimore City Public Schools’ 21st Century School Buildings Program, which has worked to provide new, modern facilities for students. Sixth through eighth graders can transition to Mount Royal Elementary/Middle, which earns a C-plus grade on Niche. Mount Royal is one of four middle schools in the city with the Ingenuity Project, through which students can take advanced math and science courses. While families have school choice for ninth through 12th grade, the closest option is Frederick Douglass High, which scores a C-minus.Seasonal activities and downtown entertainment
Most Baltimore attractions and events take place about 3 miles away in the downtown area. Visitors can check out the National Aquarium and explore the Marine Mammal Pavilion, located right along the Inner Harbor. Music lovers can catch a show at the Baltimore Soundstage, while Ravens and Orioles fans can attend a game at their respective stadiums. Druid Hill Park hosts plenty of community gatherings, as well, like the AgriHood Baltimore Farmers Market during the summer and fall seasons. This weekly event is run by the non-profit group, Plantation Park Heights Urban Farm, whose mission is to bring Baltimore communities together, support local farmers and promote healthy food choices. For those already involved in or interested in learning about Baltimore’s Jewish culture, the former synagogue-turned-community center, Third Space at Shaarei Tfiloh, sits right off Liberty Heights Avenue. The center not only holds religious ceremonies, but also hosts lectures, concerts and workshops.Transportation options in Parkview-Woodbrook
Locations near the metro are highly desirable in Baltimore, and the Mondawmin Mall next door features a subway station. “The neighborhood is more about the park, but it’s commuter-friendly with two trains and bus stations right there,” Chi says. Travelers can take the metro and Light RailLink to the Baltimore/Washington International Airport, about 12 miles south. For those traveling by car, Parkview-Woodbrook offers the same degree of convenience. “It’s close to major highways, one being 83, which can quickly take you downtown,” Chi expands. Local Maryland Transit Administration buses stop nearby, as well, providing routes around the city, including to Sinai Hospital, the closest health care center.Shopping at Mondawmin and dining in Hampden
With Mondawmin next door, shoppers don’t have to travel far for everyday needs and services. The mall has popular retailers like Ross, The Children’s Place and GameStop, as well as Shoppers, a regional supermarket with a deli and bakery. Fast and casual dining options include Subway and Dunkin’ Donuts, though sit-down restaurants can also be found nearby. The Hampden district, under 3 miles away on the other side of Druid Hill Park, houses West 36th Street, known for its array of restaurants and nightlife spots. The Avenue Kitchen & Bar serves American food with a splash of Mexican, South American and Mediterranean influences. After a nice dinner, adults can head to Zissimos Bar, open until 2 a.m. Folks can catch a sports event on TV at Zissimos by day and stay for the occasional comedy show, bingo game or live music performance by night.
