Patterson Park
The Patterson Park neighborhood adjoins the 155-acre Patterson Park, Baltimore's most used park. The neighborhood of row houses welcomed generations of Baltimore's eastern European immigrants during the previous century. Patterson Park is within walking distance of the waterfront, Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, and Fells Point.
The Park! Patterson Park offers several ball fields, tennis courts, an ice rink, a boat lake, a new pool, the Baltimore Sport & Social Club, and the pagoda. For more information about the Park, visit www.pattersonpark.com.

Healthy Neighborhoods Data
There has been a remarkable increase in median sale price over the last several years. Some of the increase is likely due to the significant rehab investment activity resulting in the resale of homes at a higher value.

Additionally, houses only remain on the market for an average of 16 days over these three years, further supporting the presence of an increasingly strong market on the HNI target blocks.
