Harlem Park House for Sale

Harlem Park in West Baltimore is a historic neighborhood with a rich cultural heritage spanning over 150 years. The area has experienced significant changes, from its origins as a country estate to a civil war encampment and later becoming a hub for African-American activism. Despite facing challenges such as disinvestment and urban planning failures, Harlem Park is undergoing revitalization efforts involving local and governmental stakeholders. Housing primarily consists of traditional Baltimore-style row homes with red-brick or stone facades and short front stoops. The neighborhood features local mini-marts, convenience stores, and a Save A Lot supermarket for daily essentials. Outdoor spaces include Harlem Square Park, a 9-acre area with green spaces and walking paths, and the larger Lafayette Square and Park, which is surrounded by historic 19th-century churches like St. John AME Church and St. James’ Episcopal Church. The recently renovated greenway along West Franklin Street offers pocket parks, walking paths, and outdoor fitness stations. Harlem Park is served by Baltimore City Schools, including Harlem Park Elementary/Middle and Carver Vocational-Technical High, which provides both college preparatory courses and Career and Technology Education pathways.
