Small suburb built in the mid-19th century offers rich history and modern amenities
With roots tracing back to the early 1830s, Rosebank is a small north Baltimore neighborhood developed alongside the York Road Turnpike. As farmers and merchants from York, Pennsylvania began to utilize this route as their main method of transportation, the need for rest stops and residences along York Road also grew. As more people settled in the region, Rosebank was born.
Duplex homes are common in the northern area of Rosebank.

Historic Senator Theater is a stone’s throw from home
The historic Senator Theater, built in 1939, is a beloved Art Deco auditorium and part of the National Register of Historic Places. The theater still operates today, screening cult classics, old favorites and new releases. The laid-back vibe and local food offerings, like made-to-order burgers from Clark Burger; a fully stocked beer and wine bar; and the standard popcorn and candy concessions, make for a perfect night out. For those who want to get in some outdoor time, head to Chinquapin Run Park for 76 acres of streams, athletic fields and a playground. Or for a larger park experience, travel 2 miles north to Lake Roland Park with over 500 acres of woodlands and wetlands, an interactive nature center, and a lake complete with cascading waterfalls. For golfers, the Elkridge Country Club is an 18-hole course 1 mile west with additional amenities like tennis courts and an outdoor pool.
