Guide to Baltimore Hoods
The landscape of West Baltimore is highlighted with communities including SandTown, Edmondson Avenue, and Walbrook JCT, among others like Whitelock City, McCulloh Homes, and Poe Homes. This region extends to cover Poplar Grove and Fayette Street, and stretches to North and Pulaski, as well as Edmondson Village. On the flip side, the West Side’s other hoods in the Northwest like Park Heights and Liberty Heights, and Southwest territories including Irv Town and Yale Heights.
Many neighborhoods such as Latrobe Homes, Perkins Homes, Patterson Park, Highland Town, and Barclay populate the streets of East Baltimore, while to its north, in the Northeast district, which home to York Road, Greenmount, Northwoods, Hillen Road, Belair Road, and Ramblewood.
Although the focus has primarily been on East and West Baltimore, South Baltimore is not without its own neighborhoods, including areas from Cherry Hill to Brooklyn. There is also a well mix of white hoods and ghettos, such as Armistead Gardens, Dundalk Ave., and a few others scattered around South Baltimore and the fringes of East Baltimore.
Dating back to the 1800s, the city became home to a variety of European immigrants—including German, Polish, Irish, Czech, and Italian populations—during the late 1800s and early 1900s, with many initially taking up residence in East Baltimore and later extending into other parts of the metropolitan area.
Today, the city’s demographic has evolved, with African Americans now representing the majority, a presence that began in small portion of East Baltimore’s neighborhoods during the late 1800s and eventually expanded by the early and mid-1900s, with West Baltimore emerging as the core of the black community.
I was born and raised in Baltimore in 1964 and lived there through the rest of the 60s 70s and 80s until I joined the Air Force in 1987. I can honestly say that Baltimore did not look like this when I was growing up in those years. It did not start looking this way truthfully until Black people started moving in, no cap, just keeping it honest here. Baltimore was once a beautiful and vibrant city, now it looks like Mogadishu, Somalia, or Lagos, Nigeria, or even worse.
