Historic community in Northeast Baltimore
Named after founder Harry Wilson, Wilson Park is an established neighborhood dating back to 1917 and holds historical significance as one of the first African American communities in Baltimore. “There are many black neighborhoods that have been disenfranchised for years. There hasn’t been enough investment in those neighborhoods. If we want to help build wealth in lower-income families and families of color, we need to help people maintain their biggest asset, their homes,” says Bonnie Bessor, the Executive Director of the local non-profit Rebuilding Together Baltimore. Located in Northeast Baltimore, this neighborhood is looking to the future with updated green spaces, renovated homes and a strong sense of community.
Residential streets feature a variety of housing options
Wilson Park features a mix of single-family homes, rowhomes and townhomes. “It’s high-density and older housing stock, usually a mix of brick and wood-frame homes,” Bessor says. Bungalows and Cape Cod-style homes sit side-by-side on modest lots, while rowhomes embrace traditional Baltimore design with red-brick facades and shaded front stoops. “Over the last 10 years, we’ve probably worked with at least 40 households in Wilson Park. We focus on safe and healthy home repairs, which helps stabilize the housing stock and keep long-term residents in the neighborhood while making it attractive to newer homeowners.” Prices range from around $75,000 for a two-bedroom townhome to $300,000 for a three-bedroom bungalow with a spacious front porch.
Detached single family homes in Wilson Park come in a wide variety of styles.
Newly built townhomes feature contemporary trends like neutral colors and symmetrical patterns.

Green spaces include playgrounds, hiking trails and more
Willow Avenue Park features a playground and pavilions. “The park was originally established in the 1980s by community leaders as a space for gatherings and children to play. In 2017, we worked with them to identify the biggest needs in the park,” Bessor says. “The main things we did were repainting and repairing two pavilions that people use for shelter and shade. We also turned the old swimming pool into a mural to brighten it up and installed a community bulletin board.” Wilson Park is less than a mile north of Springfield Woods, a nearly 4-acre urban forest with a series of wooded trails for hikers and dog walkers to explore. Less than a mile west is Sherwood Gardens, a six-acre park known for its flowering trees and annual spring tulip display.
Willow Avenue Park is full of vibrant amenities to liven the Wilson Park Neighborhood.
Springfield Woods has a natural freshwater stream that runs through the entire green space.
