Roland Park, Baltimore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roland Park is the first planned "suburban" community in North America. Located in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. It was created early in the 20th century as an upper-class streetcar suburb. It is the site of several elite private schools such as Friends School of Baltimore, Gilman School, Roland Park Country School, and The Bryn Mawr School, as well as other schools such as Boys' Latin School of Maryland (collectively known as the Roland Park Five to locals). Tree-lined streets, old mansions, and manicured lawns make this area highly desirable, and therefore highly expensive.
St. Mary's Seminary and University is currently located in Roland Park. The Baltimore Light Rail's Coldspring Lane station is within walking distance of much of the neighborhood, just across the Jones Falls Expressway to the west.
