Caring neighbors in this upscale neighborhood enjoy the best the city has to offer, from world class museums, to the city's best schools. Although Roland Park is now considered part of Baltimore City, it was originally conceived as a country retreat for wealthy Baltimoreans. Designed by the Olmstead Brothers in the late 1800's, the picturesque Roland Park holds the historical distinction of being America's first suburb. Roland Park's historical past can be seen throughout the community, as most of the homes are original to the era in which it was built. Massive Victorian mansions with shady wrap around porches, once intended to help their first occupants to escape the summer heat, now add to the antique character of the sophisticated neighborhood.

Just a few miles from Roland Park are a few of the city's best attractions, including the famed Baltimore Museum of Art, home of the Cone Collection, North America's largest collection of Matisse paintings. In addition, four floors of retail shops from high end department stores like Nordstrom; to the fashionable discounter H&M can be found a short drive away in Towson. Roland Park is home to several great restaurants, including Baltimore's best French bistro, Petit Louis. While there is a small gourmet grocery store in Roland Park, shoppers can peruse a variety of products at any one of the three grocery stores within a mile's drive of the neighborhood. Schools in the Roland Park area are undoubtedly the best in the city. Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, Western High School, and Roland Park Elementary have each won accolades from state officials and parents consistently give the schools high marks. Prestigious private schools in Roland Park include The Gilman School, Roland Park Country School, and Bryn Mawr and the Calvert School, for grades K-8, is located in neighboring Guilford.
