Booth Boyd

Booth Boyd is a neighborhood located in the southwest region of Baltimore. West Baltimore Street, Frederick Avenue, South Calverton Road and South Monroe Street generally form the borders of the neighborhood. The neighborhood is a mixture of residential and commercial uses. Houses here are he typical attached single-family “row house” homes found throughout Baltimore. In general, the homes here are somewhat deteriorated, with numerous vacant lots.

The neighborhood does not have any schools, however it does have the Bon Secours Baltimore Heath System Hospital. Restaurants are limited as is shopping, so residents typically will venture into other neighborhoods for those activities. Unfortunately residents do not have any dedicated green space or a neighborhood park. Bus stops are numerous along the main roads giving residents access to public transportation. Residents will find several places t worship both in the neighborhood as well in the adjacent neighborhoods.

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 the neighborhood for a number of reasons including the lack of a park and the condition of some of the properties. However, it may be worth a look and may meet your needs.
