Around Central Park Heights

Central Park Heights might be mostly residential, but local business owners offer some great cuisine in the neighborhood. Caribbean food is a big draw here--if you can stand the heat, try out authentic jerk chicken. You also get the chance to try your hand at making food with traditional Caribbean ingredients thanks to the neighborhood's several specialty grocery stores.

Recreation centers offer everything from yoga to crafting classes, with plenty of family friendly activities. A small park is located right in the neighborhood itself, or you can travel slightly outside of Central Park Heights and enjoy the larger Druid Hill Park. Head to the shopping center at the southern border of the neighborhood to treat yourself, whether you head to the salon, pick up some new shoes, or enjoy a book.

Families hosting get-togethers in their backyards, children playing in the parks, and community events focused on fostering the neighborhood spirit are prevalent here.

Start off on Park Heights Avenue and pick which authentic restaurant you want to try out today. If you're more in the mood for a familiar option, the southern part of this road has the typical assortment of chain restaurants. After a casual dinner, head to the Pimlico Race Course to watch horse racing. This venue hosts the Preakness Stakes, so you get to see some of the best of the best lining up at the starting gate.

The blocks around the main corridor of the neighborhood provide easy access to the rest of the city. Housing pricing, availability, and access to businesses are similar throughout the Central Park Heights neighborhood, but you're within walking distance of Druid Hill Park and the Baltimore Zoo when you head down to the southernmost part of this area. Rowhomes are most prevalent along the main road that leads towards downtown Baltimore, with charming single-family homes situated in the outlying streets.
