Woodmere

Woodmere is a neighborhood in the northwest section of the city near the Rogers Metro Station. West Northern Parkway, Gist Avenue, west Belvedere Avenue and Wabash Avenue generally form the borders of this neighborhood. The neighborhood is a mixture of commercial and residential uses. Homes here are typically attached single-family “row home” style structures that are found throughout Baltimore City. In addition, there are a number of detached single-family homes as well. Most of the homes are well maintained and some appear to be newer, especially closer to the Rogers Metro Station.

As you would expect the main draw to the neighborhood is its proximity to the Rogers Metro Station and access to mass transit. There are a number of restaurants as well as neighborhood stores scattered about Woodmere for both residents as well as workers to enjoy. There are no schools located here, nor is there an dedicated green space.

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.

Although the Rogers Metro Station is nice, there are drawbacks to living near it, mainly the noise. All in all this is a pretty nice neighborhood and is worth looking into, especially if you use the Metro system to get to and from work. Just be aware the neighborhood does lack some of the amenities that most of us look for in the city.
