Yale Heights in southwest Baltimore offers residents a quiet urban neighborhood located just outside of the city. Situated between the communities of Beechfield and Irvington, this densely populated community is exclusively residential and features homes built during the mid-1950s.

Primarily comprised of traditional-style row houses, homes here are two-stories tall and feature red-brick facades, including short front stoops and narrow front and back yards. The average housing cost in Yale Heights is $140,000, for a two-bedroom two-bath row home, with detached single-family homes going for $175,000 to $225,000. Offering increased square footage, prospective buyers can choose from minimalist styles like ramblers or colonials. Featuring three-bedrooms and two-baths, as well as spacious front and backyards, these homes also include paved driveways and plenty of lush scenery. For those looking to rent, this neighborhood also offers one- and two-bedroom apartment options.

While you won’t find big box retailers here, essential amenities like grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations and casual eateries are easily accessed within a 5-mile radius. Like the nearby Wilkens Avenue Shopping Center, where you’ll find a Giant Food supermarket, CVS pharmacy, Dunkin Donuts, and more.

Residents here enjoy spending time at their very own Yale Heights Park. A small outdoor space at the center of the neighborhood, this urban park features basketball courts, a playground and a few leafy trees providing afternoon shade. Nearby, Maidens Choice Run, a tributary of Gwynn Falls, contours the neighborhood. Offering woodlands and a bustling stream, this natural backdrop offers residents local wildlife and serenity at its best.

For the history buffs in your household, Yale Heights’ proximity to the Loudon Park National Cemetery can provide a glimpse into the past. Established in 1862, and one of only 14 national cemeteries established during the civil war, visitors can pay their respects to the union and confederate soldiers buried here or visit historic grave markers like The Sons of Maryland Monument which features the intricate terra cotta carvings of four war scenes.

Students living in Yale Heights attend Baltimore City Public Schools, like Beechfield Elementary Middle School. Serving over five-hundred students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grades, in addition to their standard curriculum, this school also offers a dance club, a gardening club, as well as flag football and basketball teams. And with initiatives like a school-wide food pantry and a spring family fun day, to promote community, it’s clear to see why this school’s motto is “Love Lives Here.”

And when residents are in need of a change of pace, they’ll love their proximity to downtown Baltimore. Catch the City Link Bus on the purple line or take a short drive down I-95 or I-395, to get to the Inner Harbor. Visit the National Aquarium, eat some mussels and crabs, or simply enjoy the waterfront promenade. With seemingly endless options, you can spend a few hours or an entire weekend here.

Offering all this and more, Yale Heights is your quiet, convenient neighborhood in Baltimore.
