South Clifton Park

South Clifton Park is a neighborhood that is located in the east section of the city. Sinclair Lane, Belair Road, East North Avenue and Hartford Avenue generally form the borders of this neighborhood. The neighborhood is a mix of residential, commercial and industrial uses. Homes located here tend to be the typical attached single-family “row homes” found throughout Baltimore.

Hartford Heights Intermediate School is located in the neighborhood for those families with children. In addition, the sprawling Heritage High School is nearby as well. One of the things that I do not like is the lack of green space here, although Clifton Park is nearby. Shopping and restaurants are very limited as well. The commercial uses in the neighborhood tend to be office buildings and there are a number of automotive repair facilities within South Clifton Park. Residents will find a number of bus stops along the main roads, which will provide access to the expanded mass transit system in the city.

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 sure if I could live here because of the mixture of commercial and industrial uses. Judge for yourself, but there may be better options out there for you and your family.
