A community under restoration in Northwest Baltimore
A glance at Parkview-Woodbrook will reveal tightly packed rowhouses on dense residential streets, contrasting with Druid Hill Park’s wide open landscape next door. The Mondawmin Mall also sits on the other side of the neighborhood, supplying access to a variety of amenities by foot. While Parkview-Woodbrook has a CAP Index Crime Score of 5 out of 10, with higher scores for violent crimes, the community currently faces a restoration period. “It’s an affordable area that’s up-and-coming. There’s lots of growth coming to that part of Baltimore,” says Chantal Chi, a local Realtor with Realty One Group Excellence. The city opened a recreation center in the area to encourage a sense of community and has also implemented housing programs to assist first-time buyers. The progressing Parkview-Woodbrook neighborhood offers starter-home prices, proximity to the metro and backdoor accessibility to one of Baltimore’s largest and most popular parks.

A walk away from the multiuse Druid Hill Park
Residents on Druid Hill Avenue or Auchentoroly Terrace in Parkview-Woodbrook get a front-porch view of one of the nation’s oldest parks. “The main draw for people that are buying a home is that that area is still affordable and is directly across the street from Druid Hill Park, which is a great area for families,” Chi says. “It’s a very large park with different festivals and carnivals.” Tennis courts, a swimming pool, a full-length disc golf course and a sizeable botanical conservatory comprise just some of the park’s many recreational activities. While the park remains public, folks can buy a yearly membership, issuing unlimited access to additional events and the Maryland Zoo, home to the largest colony of African penguins in the country. Other outdoor spaces include Hanlon Park, currently under renovation. When Hanlon reopens, visitors can walk the trails, relax in the central plaza or play on the athletic fields and jungle gym.

Finding a home in one of Baltimore’s Healthy Neighborhoods
Neighborhood homes consist of two- and three-story rowhouses. Most date back to 1920 and feature Federal- and Victorian-style architecture, though some builds can be traced to the neighborhood’s initial formation in the 19th century. Many properties in the area are undergoing renovation. “It’s in a transition. If you’re looking for a suburb, this is not it. It’s city life over here,” Chi says. Homes are packed closely together and span city blocks, with trees and shrubbery adding a splash of greenery against the red brick or neutrally repainted buildings. Newly redone homes tend to sell in the $200,000 to $300,000 range, while those in need of restoration often cost below $110,000. Incentives have also been instated for new homebuyers looking in the area. “It’s considered a Healthy Neighborhood, so the city offers programs for first-time buyers, like $10,000 grants to buy a home there,” Chi explains. “It’s an opportunity to get into the neighborhood while it’s still affordable.”

Seasonal activities and downtown entertainment
Most Baltimore attractions and events take place about 3 miles away in the downtown area. Visitors can check out the National Aquarium and explore the Marine Mammal Pavilion, located right along the Inner Harbor. Music lovers can catch a show at the Baltimore Soundstage, while Ravens and Orioles fans can attend a game at their respective stadiums. Druid Hill Park hosts plenty of community gatherings, as well, like the AgriHood Baltimore Farmers Market during the summer and fall seasons. This weekly event is run by the non-profit group, Plantation Park Heights Urban Farm, whose mission is to bring Baltimore communities together, support local farmers and promote healthy food choices. For those already involved in or interested in learning about Baltimore’s Jewish culture, the former synagogue-turned-community center, Third Space at Shaarei Tfiloh, sits right off Liberty Heights Avenue. The center not only holds religious ceremonies, but also hosts lectures, concerts and workshops.
Access to Baltimore City Public Schools
Children can begin their education at Dorothy I. Height Elementary, a relatively new school, unranked by Niche, that opened its doors in 2018. The school was part of Baltimore City Public Schools’ 21st Century School Buildings Program, which has worked to provide new, modern facilities for students. Sixth through eighth graders can transition to Mount Royal Elementary/Middle, which earns a C-plus grade on Niche. Mount Royal is one of four middle schools in the city with the Ingenuity Project, through which students can take advanced math and science courses. While families have school choice for ninth through 12th grade, the closest option is Frederick Douglass High, which scores a C-minus.

Transportation options in Parkview-Woodbrook
Locations near the metro are highly desirable in Baltimore, and the Mondawmin Mall next door features a subway station. “The neighborhood is more about the park, but it’s commuter-friendly with two trains and bus stations right there,” Chi says. Travelers can take the metro and Light RailLink to the Baltimore/Washington International Airport, about 12 miles south. For those traveling by car, Parkview-Woodbrook offers the same degree of convenience. “It’s close to major highways, one being 83, which can quickly take you downtown,” Chi expands. Local Maryland Transit Administration buses stop nearby, as well, providing routes around the city, including to Sinai Hospital, the closest health care center.
