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.
