Neighborhood named after nearby park
As its name implies, the community of South Clifton Park is located in East Baltimore, just south of the expansive 260-acre Clifton Park. A mixed residential and industrial neighborhood with an urban feel, residents are just steps away from the green space that provides a reprieve from city life. “It’s a convenient area near the park and not too far from major highways,” says Altavia Little, a real estate agent with Weichert, Realtors – Integrity Home Team, who has been selling in the area for 3 years. “You’ve also got access to public transportation and can get a home that’s move-in ready under $200,000.”
South Clifton Park is right outside of downtown Baltimore.

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.
