Neighborhood
Orangeville
Orangeville’s rowhomes and neighborhood park sit within a wider east Baltimore landscape shaped by rail lines and industrial districts.
Orangeville is a residential City neighborhood with an industrial namesake next door. Live Baltimore describes its housing mainly as rowhomes. On the City map, Orangeville meets Armistead Gardens, Baltimore Highlands, Ellwood Park/Monument, Kresson and the separately named Orangeville Industrial Area.
A park with the neighborhood’s name
Orangeville Park falls within the mapped community, giving the neighborhood a named green-space reference alongside its housing. It is useful to distinguish that local park from Herring Run’s larger stream corridor in nearby communities. Each belongs to a different part of the east Baltimore landscape.
A connection to railroad history
The wider Orangeville area appears in Amtrak’s historic survey as the location of Bay View Junction, the eastern connection for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad’s late nineteenth-century Belt Line. That line linked the Camden Station area with the northern route toward Philadelphia. This transport history helps explain why residential Orangeville sits among industrial neighbors, without making rail property a public route through the neighborhood.
