A quaint, timeless community
Established in 1891, Roland Park was one of the first planned communities in the United States. Designed by the Olmsted brothers — the same landscape architects behind New York City’s Central Park — the commitment to designing around the landscape is evident. “It has lots and lots of trees and the Stony Run Park, and yet it’s convenient to everything, so you feel like you’re in a small town,” says Ken Maher, the Vice President at Monument Sotheby’s International Realty with over 25 years of experience in real estate. Maher is also a Roland Park native whose family roots there trace back to the 1930s when his grandparents bought a house in the neighborhood. “You have the local shopping areas, restaurants and so on. The other thing I think sets the neighborhood apart is just how un-urban and sheltered it seems. It has a timeless quality to it and a nice and diverse mix of people, so it’s not all so grandiose as all that.” Noah Mumaw, a Realtor and founder at Monument Sotheby’s International Realty who also grew up in the neighborhood and has been selling there for 20 years, agrees with this assessment. “It’s like stepping back in time,” Mumaw says, noting that kids play in the streets and parents walk their kids to school in the morning. “They do a lot of things from the 1950s or 1960s that people don’t really do anymore.”
Treelined streets gives Roland Park its fairytale setting.
Historic homes along tree-shaded streets
Roland Park features tree-shaded and sidewalk-lined streets, adding to its walkability. “It’s great for people with kids, for people with dogs, just like me, for walking in the park, walking to the little supermarket, some of the other services, the restaurants,” Maher says. The homes lining these streets are often historical and feature an eclectic mix of home styles, including Victorian, Craftsman, Tudor and colonial. “Every house here is different, and the gardens, the well-planned streets and lanes, are unique to this area and to Maryland,” says Kristina Strakna, the office manager for the Roland Park Civic League. The league has a $50 membership fee per year and limits what changes can be made to the exteriors of historic houses. Home prices range anywhere from $500,000 for a three-bedroom fixer-upper to $2.4 million for a renovated six-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom mansion. Competition for homes here can be fierce. “There is absolutely no inventory,” Maher says. “I’m listing a house in Roland Park this weekend and I think it will be under contract before the end of the next week.”
Baltimore City schools, four private schools
Baltimore City Public Schools has a C-plus on Niche. Children can attend Roland Park Elementary/Middle School, which has a B-plus rating, and Frederick Douglass High School, which has a C. Frederick Douglass High allows students to graduate with college credits or career certifications. Roland Park is also home to four private schools that are all within a mile of each other, including Gilman School and Roland Park Country School. Gilman is an all-boys school and Roland Park an all-girls school, but both serve children from pre-K through 12th grade and earn A-plus ratings on Niche. Mumaw says that these private schools are a draw for many residents moving into Roland Park. John’s Hopkins University, Notre Dame of Maryland University and Loyola University are also all within a mile of Roland Park.
Walking and fishing at Stony Run Park
The 316-acre Stony Run Park offers residents space to enjoy the outdoors with a playground, dog-friendly walking trails shaded by trees, athletic fields and fishing spots. When the weather heats up, residents flock to the Roland Park Pool to cool down and have fun.
Biking is a popular activity at Linkwood Park.
French cuisine at Petit Louis Bistro
Built in the 1890s, this Tudor-style Roland Park Shopping Center is now home to two of the area’s most popular restaurants. For French-inspired cuisine, residents visit Petit Louis Bistro. “It’s an amazing little place, it’s a neighborhod gem,” Mumaw says. “It’s been a neighborhood staple for a very, very long time.” Next door, Johnny’s is another popular spot that offers seafood dishes with a twist. Residents pick up groceries at Eddie’s of Roland Park, which also offers grab-and-go items.
Interstate 83 to Downtown Baltimore
Interstate 83 provides easy access to Downtown Baltimore and the Inner Harbor 8 miles away, and residents can catch a bus along Roland Avenue or Falls Road. Sinai Hospital and MedStar Union Memorial Hospital are both less than 3 miles from home.
Roland Park's proximity to I-83 make commuting easy.
Strawberry Festival, movie nights
According to Maher and Mumaw, Roland Park has regular community events, including Christmas caroling, movie nights and the Strawberry Festival, which has been a tradition since the early 1900s. “Then, in Homeland, every Friday night during the summertime, they close Belvedere Square down and have live music and a bunch of events for the kids,” Mumaw says.
