Healthy Neighborhoods include a diverse array of neighborhoods in Southeast Baltimore: Baltimore Highlands, Ellwood Park/Monument, Greektown, Highlandtown, McElderry Park, Patterson Park Neighborhood, and Patterson Place. This pocket of Baltimore City represents one of the quickest revitalizing neighborhoods with a variety of resources, amenities, and community readily available.
Visit Southeast Baltimore on a warm afternoon and you’ll see why young, energetic homebuyers are joining the generations of Eastern Europeans who made this neighborhood home. In the 19th century, immigrant European laborers as well as free black people, like Frederick Douglas, flocked here seeking jobs in the waterfront factories, rail yards and wharves. Blocks upon blocks of rowhomes were built around Patterson Park to house these working masses, with new generations of these families still calling Southeast Baltimore home. In recent years, the community has also welcomed Hispanic immigrants, urban professionals, as well as an influx of artists thanks to Highlandtown’s designation as an arts and entertainment district.
The neighborhoods benefit from proximity to the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center and Patterson Park. The 155-acre park offers several ball fields, tennis courts, an ice rink, a boat lake, a new pool, the Baltimore Sport & Social Club and the Pagoda. The Pagoda, designed in 1890 by Charles H. Latrobe, still stands on its original site in Patterson Park. Many of Baltimore’s festivals and events take place in Patterson Park. In a year’s time you can gorge on pierogies at the Ukrainian Festival, dance to pounding beats at LatinoFest and watch manmade, man-powered sculpture dash through a mud pit during the Kinetic Sculpture Race. Friends of Patterson Park and the Creative Alliance offer a roster of activities and volunteer opportunities for residents.
Southeast Baltimore residents can walk to farmer’s markets, shops, restaurants, libraries, nightlife and parks, making it ideal for urbanites who embrace the convenience and abundance of city living. Today, neighbors young and old gather to plant trees on their blocks. They walk their dogs in the park or hop on their bikes and zip to nearby Fells Point for lunch on the water. They gather on their stoops and gossip about the day’s events—a classic Baltimore pastime.
