Milton Montford / Madison East End

Milton Montford / Madison East End is a neighborhood in the east section of the city near Johns Hopkins Hospital. East Eager Street, Edison Highway, East Monument Street and North Patterson Park Avenue generally form the borders of this neighborhood. As is the case with many neighborhoods in Baltimore, there is a mix of residential and commercial uses here. Homes here are the typical attached “row home” structures found throughout the city. Commercial buildings are typically found along East Monument Street.

This is a neighborhood with few amenities for the residents. Here there are no neighborhood schools. Although there is dedicated green space here with the Frank C. Bocek Park being located here, it appears to be a new park with little to offer except an open grass field. There are a number of fast food restaurants as well as shopping options located here as well. Those wishing to worship will find several neighborhood churches. Access to public transportation is available with numerous bus stops located along the main streets.

Like many neighborhoods in large cities, crimes against people and property can occur at any time and crime rates can vary from street to street and day to day. As always, check recent crime statistics to make an informed decision on any neighborhood you are considering living in or visiting.

I am not a big fan of this neighborhood. The nearby train tracks are concerning due to the noise although after a while residents say to each other; “train, what train?”. If you are considering living here definitely look into the noise issue as well as the types of commercial businesses here.
