Developed between 1890 and 1920 as an upper-class street car suburb, Roland Park was named after the early Baltimore county landowner, Roland Thornberry. Roland park has the dubious distinctions of being widely regarded as the first planned suburban community in North America and having the first strip shopping center in the country – The Roland Park Shopping center located at the 4800 block of Roland Ave.
Originally, part of Baltimore county, the 100 acres of Roland Park was annexed by Baltimore City in 1918. To make every effort to protect the area’s trees and natural vegetation Roland Park’s designers took advantage of the natural contours of the land, valleys, streams and woodlands when laying out the roads and designing lots on which to put homes. Moreover, land-use restrictions were incorporated in property deeds to protect and maintain the landscape and architectural integrity of the neighborhood; property owners are still legally required to pay a basic fee. |
Today Roland Park’s 1000 homes exhibit many styles of suburban architecture including Victorian and Queen Anne, English Tudor, Georgian and Regency, shingled cottages. Those looking to move to Roland Park can also find several apartment buildings as well as condominiums.
