REGIONAL SNAPSHOT
ROLAND PARK
Enchanting Landscapes
Roland Park’s claim to fame may surprise you. This charming and upscale Baltimore-
area enclave was the first planned “suburban” community in North America. Despite
its history as a 19th-century development, Roland Park offers a 21st-century lifestyle
today, complete with luxury condos, natural beauty, proximity to all that downtown
Baltimore has to offer and a strong sense of community. The famed neighborhood is
just a few miles northwest of the Johns Hopkins University Homewood Campus and
the Baltimore Museum of Art, placing some of the city’s most sought-after amenities
within reach.
Created in the 1920s by local petroleum pioneer and conservationist John W.
Sherwood, Sherwood Gardens has become America’s most famous tulip garden.
Approximately 80,000 tulip bulbs are planted there each year, blooming alongside
dogwoods, flowering cherries, wisteria and magnolias. Nearby, the historic Baltimore
Country Club offers social events and amenities such as swimming pools, bowling,
dining, fitness facilities and a racquet program consisting of tennis, paddle and squash.
A tranquil landscape of hills, valleys, forest and open space brings a park-like feeling
to the community. Historic and eclectic architectural styles from the Arts and Crafts
movement, as well as new condos intended for contemporary lifestyles, all blend to
create a truly unique setting in the heart of Baltimore.
