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.

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.

School choice and proximity to Baltimore’s universities
Students in grades K-5 can walk to the neighborhood’s Walter P. Carter Elementary/Middle School, which earned a C-minus from Niche. The Baltimore City Public School District follows school choice for middle and high school, meaning that students can apply to attend the schools of their choice. Children can continue their education at Walter P. Carter Elementary/Middle School before moving to the nearby Reginald F. Lewis High School, also rated a C-minus. Baltimore has nine higher-educational institutions, and residents are minutes from Loyola University Maryland, Morgan State University and Johns Hopkins University.

Houses of worship support the neighborhood
Wilson Park is home to several houses of worship. The Church of the Redeemed of the Lord provides the community with a food pantry, an annual Health and Resource Fair and live performances put on by the worship arts ministry.Convenient commute to Washington, D.C. and beyond
Interstate 83 is about 2 miles west of Wilson Park, while an access point to Interstate 95 is about 6 miles south. The thoroughfare makes it easier for residents to traverse the 50 miles south to Washington, D.C. With the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, commutes on the Baltimore Beltway will be impacted. The Maryland Transit Administration provides local bus service to the community, with several stops along York Road – also known as Route 45. Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport is 20 miles south.Local businesses and restaurants line York Road
Wilson Park is primarily residential, but several small businesses and restaurants line the neighborhood’s western border along York Road. The 43rd Flavor Barber & Beauty Salon is a long-standing institution where locals can get a haircut. Dining options include Cool Running Jamaican and American Cuisine, a fusion restaurant specializing in homestyle dishes served by the plate or tray. Locals can also order food to-go from Chicken Run Carry-Out or Ma Wongs Carryout, known for its Chinese food. The House of Chiefs is an intimate jazz club where live music goes late into the evening, and Lidl, a mile east in the Northwood Commons shopping center, is the closest full-service grocery store.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
