Roland Park

Jason Woody

What brought you to Baltimore?

I am originally from Maryland and grew up coming to Baltimore from time to time, but got to know the city better when I attended college at nearby UMBC. After moving to a few places around the country post college, I was drawn back to Baltimore. I always had an affection for the city because of its' authenticity and the honest and free-spirited nature of the people here. Beyond that, Baltimore is in a great geographic location, is relatively affordable compared to other cities in the region, has amazing arts and culinary scenes, and lots of natural beauty from the harbor to the many grand parks.

What do you love most about this neighborhood?

What I love most about Roland Park is how green the neighborhood is. There are so many wonderful gardens and many parts of the neighborhood feel like you live in the forest. At the same time you can still walk to important amenities such as the grocery store, library, schools, pool, post office, local shops, and some great restaurants.

What would you tell someone considering this neighborhood?

I would tell someone considering Roland Park that they would enjoy the natural beauty, friendly neighbors, walkable amenities, and the great public school. There are many young families in the area as well as long established residents. It is a place where people tend to stay for a long time, so you will have the opportunity to develop deep connections with neighbors. I would suggest starting by spending a day walking around the neighborhood to get a feel for the area, and to explore the special path system (https://rolandpark.org/community-resources/maps-paths/).
