Neighborhood Description Butchers Hill is child-friendly, safe, convenient, beautiful, and historic. More information at www.butchershill.org. This is a great neighborhood to raise kids. The park is the best attraction: our kids love playing in our backyard, walking to concerts at the Pagoda, looking for rainbows at the fountain, the new kiddie pool and playground, and the ice-skating rink. The parents in the neighborhood are organized with an active discussion group (mail rgsmith@umich.edu for more information) and established playgroups for all ages. As SE Baltimore has gentrified, the residents have started new schools. Butcher's Hill is in the catchement area for the excellent PK-8 Patterson Park Public Charter School (www.pppcs.org) and PK-8 Hampstead Hill Academy (www.hha47.org). Baltimore has an established network of Catholic and Private schools and many of our neighbors send their kids to Father Kolbe. Patterson Park was once infamous, but has undergone a miraculous renaisance and is now completely safe. It is full of people walking their dogs at any hour of the day, and parents are out with strollers in the day. As you wander through the park, you will see many newly planted saplings. Our corner of the Park is the oldest and most beautiful, with sweeping views of the Harbor and lush flower gardens along its winding walkways. I walk to work at Hopkins every day. There is also a Hopkins shuttle-bus stop a block away (at Baltimore & Patterson). Hopkins is moving aggressively to clean up the area to our immediate north: what was once a dangerous housing project at Washington and Fayette will soon be a Barnes & Noble and Trader Joe's. We are a short and traffic-free ride straight down Lombard Street to I-83 and downtown, and down Baltimore Street to I-895.
