Neighborhood
Ellwood Park/Monument
Ellwood Park/Monument combines rowhouse blocks and commercial buildings with a neighborhood park and local home-rehabilitation work.
Ellwood Park/Monument takes its identity from residential blocks, commercial buildings and a park sharing part of its name. Live Baltimore describes that mix of rowhomes and business properties. The City map places the neighborhood beside McElderry Park, Madison-Eastend, Baltimore Highlands and Orangeville.
Work on the neighborhood’s park
Ellwood Avenue Park falls within the City neighborhood boundary. Southeast CDC’s fiscal-year 2024 account records repairs to the park’s concrete steps and installation of string lights in Ellwood Park. These are specific examples of investment in shared neighborhood space.
Rowhomes and resident investment
Ellwood Park is also one of the communities named in Southeast CDC’s affordable-homeownership development program. The organization describes buying and rehabilitating vacant homes for sale to owner-occupants, alongside its work with existing residents. For someone researching housing here, that provides a local organization to contact about the process. Individual listings, program requirements and current availability need to be checked directly; past rehabilitation activity does not establish that a particular house is for sale.
