South Clifton Park
Brick rowhouses sit along sidewalks
South Clifton Park is a densely populated neighborhood with a cohesive feel because it primarily features traditional rowhouses. Prospective buyers can choose from two-story red-brick houses with short, roofed front porches, bowed windows or decorated awnings. Others may opt for Federal-style rowhouses with flat facades and painted brick. Prices start at $40,000 for a home likely needing a complete remodel. The highest price point here reaches $226,000, though most fall in the low- to mid-$100,000s. While these urban homes don’t offer individual yard spaces, the slightly overgrown city sidewalks that line their streets are occasionally dotted with small trees. The unmarked roadways are also where many residents choose to park their cars.Clifton Park offers reprieve from urban setting
The expansive Clifton Park, situated on the other side of Sinclair Lane, is a perk for residents. “A lot of people walk to the park to play golf, people have picnics, and there are festivals held at Clifton Park,” Little says. “There’s also a playground that families enjoy.” Formerly the summer estate of Johns Hopkins, today Clifton Park retains much of its original topography and is a recreational hotspot for much of the surrounding area, offering a public golf course, the Rita R. Church Community Center—complete with a gym and a public swimming pool, and many walking trails. In addition to its recreational amenities, history buffs can explore Clifton Park’s historic landmarks, like the Clifton Mansion, now utilized as park office spaces, or the Gothic Revival-style Clifton Valve House, which resembles a small medieval cathedral. For many years, the park has transformed for the Baltimore Washington One Carnival in July, attracting thousands of visitors. The two-day event typically kicks off with a Caribbean-style parade and features live music and authentic Caribbean cuisine.Specialized STEM courses at Dunbar High School
Students living in South Clifton Park are zoned for Baltimore City Public Schools. They may begin their education at Harford Heights Elementary School, which gets a C-minus rating from Niche. They’ll later filter into Booker T. Washington Middle School and Paul Laurence Dunbar High School. The former earns a C-minus from Niche, while the latter receives a C overall. At Dunbar High School, students can enroll in P-TECH, a specialized STEM school offering four-to-six-year programs in which they can earn a high school diploma and a no-cost associates degree.Small shopping complexes and soul food nearby
At the cross streets of Harford Road and North Broadway, there are fast food options like McDonald's and Wendy's, as well as a Walgreens and a Family Dollar for quick errand runs. To find larger chain grocers, locals can drive less than 3 miles to the Save-a-Lot on East Monument Road or an ALDI on East Fayette Street. For a meal out, Little recommends Bertha’s for soul food or Koco’s, known for its crab cakes. Each is within 2.5 miles of South Clifton Park.Ample bus stops to access downtown Baltimore
South Clifton Park residents relying on public transportation to commute to downtown Baltimore and surrounding areas can hop on a Maryland Transit Administration bus at one of the many stops along North Avenue or Sinclair Lane. Medical care can be found at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, less than 2 miles south of the neighborhood via North Washington Street. Commuters traveling to work in downtown Baltimore can avoid major highways and make the less than 3-mile drive to the heart of the city. Those looking to take a trip outside the city will have to drive nearly 18 miles along Interstate 895 to reach Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.Crime rates in South Clifton Park
