Location
Lake Evesham is located in northern Baltimore City, a couple of blocks south of the City/County line. The neighborhood is generally bounded by Lake Avenue to the north, York Road to the east, Evesham Avenue to the south, and Bellona Avenue to the west. A group of homes on the northern side of Lake Avenue is also included. We are within walking distance of the historic Senator Theater, as well as restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping areas. Towson and downtown Baltimore are but a short drive or bus ride away. For a better view of our neighborhood, take a look at our Street Map. This was obtained from the City, and shows most of the structures and roads in their present-day condition.

History
Until the 20th Century, Lake Evesham consisted of large parcels of land with sparse development. The first homes were constructed in the 1900s, with a construction boom occurring after World War I. Most of the homes and streets were in place by the 1930s. Northern Parkway was constructed in 1973, eliminating houses on the south side of Evesham Avenue.

Residents
Lake Evesham contains about 250 households, and two small apartment complexes.  The citizenry is diverse, with new families moving in regularly, next door to long-time residents.  We care about our neighborhood and our people, and we'll hopefully show more of that with increased involvement in local issues.  Take the time to stop and talk to your neighbors.  You'll be glad you did.

Association Membership
The Lake Evesham Community Association urges everyone who lives in this neighborhood to join the association, for the betterment of our community. Here are a few reasons why:

  • A more active community association can effect quality-of-life changes that make this a better place to be. You can read up on some of the Issues facing our region.

  • Dues are a low $10 per person, paid annually (click here for a membership form).
  • Only active members can vote in elections or on other issues before the association.
  • Active members of the community association receive a complimentary copy of our neighborhood directory, which we plan to update very soon.
