About Reservoir Hill
Reservoir Hill is a neighborhood in the city of Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is located south of Druid Hill Park, north of Bolton Hill, east of Penn-North, and west of Jones Falls. It is bounded by Druid Park Lake Drive, the Jones Falls Expressway, North Avenue (U.S. Route 1), and McCulloh Street. It is contained in the 21217 zip code.
Reservoir Hill has the reputation of being an economically and racially
integrated neighborhood. Its population are a mix of African Americans and White
Americans (including Jewish Americans). The housing stock features a wide
variety of nineteenth century architecture, including ornate Victorian mansions
overlooking the Park, brownstones, and the smaller brick rowhouses that
characterize much of Baltimore. Part of Reservoir Hill is a National Historic
District. Although restoration efforts have brought new life to portions of the
area, many houses are in poor condition.
A section of Reservoir Hill is known as Mount Royal. It is just across North
Avenue from Bolton Hill and close to the Jones Falls. It is generally more
expensive and contains very well-preserved homes. A portion of this has been
declared the Mount Royal Terrace Historic District by Baltimore City.
Portions of Reservoir Hill is within easy walking distance of the North Avenue
stop on the Baltimore Light Rail line and the Penn-North stop on the Baltimore
Metro Subway.
