Ramblewood
Neighborhood Reviews
Rowhouses perched on small, grassy banks
Ramblewood’s rowhomes feature red-brick facades, with short-roofed front porches or decorative metal awnings. The houses are perched on small banks, several feet from the sidewalk-lined streets, and feature terraced stairways leading up to the entryways. “There have been a lot of recent renovations throughout the area, which have made it more appealing,” Ward says. Prices start at $135,000 and can climb to $280,000. Driveways are a rarity in Ramblewood. Instead, people park along the slender streets or under the shade of trees dotted around the neighborhood.

Food hall-style square and a mainstay vintage theatre
Walkability to everyday essentials is an added bonus for Ramblewood residents. A small shopping center off The Alameda includes a Shoppers Food Warehouse grocery store, a Family Dollar, Planet Fitness and Bank of America. Nearby, Colin’s Seafood and Grill is a fast-casual option, while Belvedere Square is an expansive market with options for nearly every taste. Pick up a coffee and sandwich at Atwater’s, or go all-in on a lobster roll from Mason’s. Those with a sweet tooth might want to stop by Prigel Family Farm or The Confetti Cake Bar. Locals also head next door to catch the latest blockbusters or classic films at The Senator Theatre, a Baltimore mainstay since 1939 with a vintage art deco design. “You’re also not far from Towson, which has several grocery stores, a Target, Walmart, Marshalls and things like that,” Ward says. Additional chain stores at the Towson Town Center, like Macy’s and Nordstrom, are less than 4 miles away.

Summer Sounds at the Square
Locals look forward to Summer Sounds at the Square, held at Belvedere Square from the end of May through early September. “It’s usually held on a Friday night, and part of the market shuts down for it,” Ward says. “There’s music, and a lot of the vendors and shops from the market are there, so it’s a really good place for people in the neighborhood to come together.”Specialized career courses at Baltimore City Schools
Students here attend Baltimore City Public Schools. They’ll begin their education at Leith Walk Elementary/Middle School, which serves prekindergarten through eighth grades and earns a C-minus from Niche. Forest Park High School receives the same grade and offers specialized career pathway courses in nursing, computer science and culinary art in addition to its standard curriculum.

Spacious parks, golf courses and an ice skating rink
Golf enthusiasts and nature lovers alike head to Mt. Pleasant Woods Park. The 18-hole golf course has a rich history in the area and was the home of the Eastern Invitation Open throughout the 1950s when Arnold Palmer secured his third PGA Tour win. Today, the densely wooded course is open to the public. The park also features the Mt. Pleasant Ice Arena, which hosts amateur hockey teams, special events and public skating sessions. Near the neighborhood’s western end is Chinquapin Park. With more than 76 acres of lush green spaces, the park’s lush plant life and tree cover make for peaceful walks and picnics. A playground, basketball and tennis courts, and two grassy ballfields are also dotted around the green space.

Easy access to downtown Baltimore
Residents take solace in Ramblewood’s proximity to MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital. The medical center sits adjacent to the neighborhood and is known throughout the region for its 60,000-square-foot Inpatient Rehabilitation Center. While many amenities are within walking distance, locals will have to take The Alameda for 6 miles to reach downtown Baltimore. There are Maryland Transit Administration stops along The Alameda, Belvedere Avenue and Loch Raven Boulevard for those using public transportation. People looking to travel outside the city can catch a flight at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport by taking Interstate 895 south for nearly 21 miles.
