Patterson Park
Neighborhood in Baltimore, Maryland
Baltimore City 21224
Streets of Baltimore row houses
Patterson Park is a densely populated neighborhood, with tightly packed homes lining the streets. “Everything is row houses,” says Brian DiNardo, a Realtor with Garner and Co. and a 23-year resident of Patterson Park. “There’s not a detached home in the area. They were originally designed for the upper crust of Baltimore society in the early 1900s, so the rooftop views from the houses on Baltimore Street are some of the best in the city.” Locals lucky enough to own a house with a rooftop deck are treated to bird’s-eye views of Charm City and the Patapsco River as it feeds into the bay. Prices in the neighborhood begin around $150,000, rising as high as $620,000 for newly renovated park-side properties.The defining feature of Patterson Park
The neighborhood takes its name from the nearby green space, one of the largest and best-known in Baltimore. “Patterson Park is the best park in the city,” DiNardo says. “It has a pool, an ice rink, basketball courts and the observatory. There’s a boat lake in the middle. There are historic cannons in front of the pagoda from when the British sailed into the harbor in 1812. Everyone loves living by it, and everyone who lives here uses it daily.” On summer days, locals enjoy family gatherings at the park’s picnic pavilions while children romp around the Castle Playground, watched over by the towering pagoda, which serves as an observatory that opens for occasional events.Education in Baltimore City
Children on the north side of Patterson Park are zoned to attend William Paca Elementary, which earns a C-minus from Niche. On the south side of the neighborhood, children attend Highlandtown Elementary and Middle School, also rated a C-minus. Students in Baltimore City may attend their choice of high school to complete their secondary education. One of the closest options to Patterson Park is Patterson High, another C-minus institution where the basketball team recently won the regional championships. Many renowned Catholic schools also serve the Baltimore community. Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, founded in 2007, earns a B-plus and is the closest to the neighborhood.To Fells Point or the Inner Harbor
While options within the neighborhood are limited, Patterson Park is not far from Charm City’s action. “We may not have very many restaurants or venues, but we are only a mile walk from Fells Point,” DiNardo says. Fells Point is a nightlife hub of Baltimore, where bands play live music nightly in one of the restaurants that line South Broadway. From here, it is an easy 2-mile walk around the Inner Harbor to Camden Yards for Orioles games or to the Maryland Science Center, where locals can catch the latest blockbusters on the largest IMAX movie screen in the state.
Along Pulaski Highway
Neighbors in Patterson Park have easy access to Route 40, also known as Pulaski Highway, from which they can access any of the major interstates connecting Baltimore to the rest of Maryland. Interstate 95 is also close by, linking residents to Baltimore Washington International Airport, 14.5 miles away.
Dining in Charm City
Residents can shop for groceries at the Safeway on Lakewood Avenue, south of the neighborhood by the waterfront. While mostly residential, small restaurants have begun popping up in recent years. “Dilone Grocery and Restaurant is a Central American spot at the end of Lakewood and Fayette,” DiNardo says. “It’s got such a wonderful menu. You can’t believe you’re getting goat and pig’s feet.” For more conventional fare, residents can head to Blue Point Crab House on Orleans Street, where they can indulge in classic Maryland seafood options like crab cake sandwiches and steam pots covered with Old Bay. For frozen treats, locals head to Bmore Licks, a homegrown ice cream shop on the harbor side of the park known for inventive flavors like honey baklava and Cuban coffee Oreo.Johns Hopkins Hospital
Patterson Park is just over a mile from Johns Hopkins Hospital, a major employer in the area and one of the top-ranked medical institutions in the world. Hopkins is also a key stop on the Baltimore Metro, which connects the hospital to the suburb of Owings Mills 21 miles northwest.
