Restoring the community of a West Baltimore neighborhood
Walbrook is a West Baltimore neighborhood at the end of the North Avenue corridor that is well-regarded for its convenience. “It’s very popular for its accessibility to Coppin State University and downtown,” says Realtor Tiffany Domneys of ExecuHome Realty, a lifelong resident who has sold real estate in the area for 23 years. “There’s a lot of public transit, and renovations are happening every day. I work closely with a non-profit that helps renovate the blighted and dilapidated properties in the area to encourage home ownership.” Although tax incentives from the city have encouraged new owners to consider Walbrook, the community is hard at work ensuring that the neighborhood retains its culture and atmosphere. “Our non-profit also helps legacy owners fix up their roofs and porches, just general maintenance on their houses where they need it,” Domneys continues. “When there is blight between the homes, we fix them up to make them fall in line with the other neighborhood properties.” An influx of funds from city hall to revivify nearby Leakin Park, as well as new construction at historic Coppin State University, is helping the star of Walbrook to rise once again.

Renovated West Baltimore row houses
Most of Walbrook's housing stock consists of two-story row houses, set back from the sidewalks by concrete stairways leading to covered front porches. Some feature flat red brick facades, while others are distinguished by rounded upper-story bay windows. Others are done up with Tudor accents like exposed beams threaded through the brick. “At the 2000 block of Dukeland Street – we call it Dukeland Crossing now – that was once a strop of all blighted homes that we renovated from the studs,” Domneys says. “It brought a lot of people back to a block that it used to be you didn’t want to turn down it. We’re continuing to do as much as we can to bring back pride of ownership to the community.” Prices begin around $155,000 and rise to around $300,000 depending on the size and condition of the property. There are also detached single-family homes on the western side of the neighborhood, many featuring long walkways and mid-sized front yards. These homes, mainly in American Foursquare and Victorian styles, cost anywhere from $145,000 to $330,000 depending on number of bedrooms and status of renovations.

Leon Day and Leakin Park
Walbrook residents can get their fill of time outdoors at Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park. This 1,000-plus acre green space is the second-largest woodland park in the country, featuring miles of hiking trails that trace the course of Gwynns Falls beneath the canopy of trees. Local children enjoy the Carrie Murray Nature Center, where they can visit the hawk house and learn about the natural ecosystem of the city. The park is also home to several playgrounds and to Leon Day Park, where locals meet up for pickup basketball games or swing for the fences on the baseball diamond.
Gwynn Falls runs through the center of Leakin Park and offers beautiful scenery.
The Crimea Estate in Leakin Park was built in 1856 in Walbrook.

Baltimore public schools and one of Maryland’s HBCUs
Children in Walbrook are zoned to attend Gwynns Falls Elementary School, which earns a C-minus from Niche and serves students from kindergarten through fifth grade. They may then proceed to their choice of the city’s middle and high schools. For middle school, Katherine Johnson Global Academy is the closest, a gifted and advanced learning site that focuses on S.T.E.A.M. Edmondson-Westside High School, also a C-minus, is home to a boys’ basketball team that recently won back-to-back state championships. Another nearby option is Bard High School Early College, which scores a C-plus and allows students to earn their associate's degree alongside their high school diploma. Walbrook is also close to Coppin State University. “Coppin State is one of three historically Black colleges in Maryland,” Domneys says. “And they’ve been adding some new buildings lately as well. The new construction right at the corner of North Avenue and Warwick – that’s all brand new.”
