Orangeville

Orangeville is a mainly commercial and industrial neighborhood with a small residential component located near I-895. Erdman Avenue, Pulaski Highway, North Dean Street and North Macon Street generally form the borders of this neighborhood. In typical Baltimore fashion, most of the homes are attached single-family “row homes”. The condition of the homes varies widely.

Claremont Trainable School is located here in Orangeville for those families with children. Residents have Orangeville Community Park for dedicated green space and they need it! Unfortunately, most of the neighborhood is rather unsightly due to the industrial uses. Limited shopping and places to eat can be found along Pulaski Highway. There are a number of bus stops along the major roads for those who want to utilize public transportation.

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 would look for other options before considering this neighborhood. The industrial and commercial component of the neighborhood is significant. In addition, there are numerous railroad tracks cutting thru Orangeville. I would be concerned about the noise from the railroad tracks and the industrial facilities and their impact on my quality of life. Definitely do your own due diligence on this neighborhood.
