GENERAL INFORMATION:
1301 Roland Heights Avenue comprises a religious building on 0.32 acre in the Medfield neighborhood of North Baltimore. Medfield is ideally situated among some of Baltimore’s most demanded and steadily developing neighborhoods, including Cross Keys, Roland Park, Hampden, Woodberry and the Mill projects throughout the Jones Falls Valley. The site has received significant development evaluation, with concept drawings and preliminary engineering plans for a multifamily building. The site is well positioned for either multi-family use, single family use or ongoing utilization as a religious facility. The auction provides an excellent opportunity to buy a well sized parcel with existing structure in a location that is highly sought after.
LOCATION:
1301 Roland Heights Avenue, formerly known as the New Hope Church of God, is located at the intersections of Roland Heights Avenue and Newport Avenue in Medfield. Medfield is bound to the west by the Jones Falls Expressway and Jones Falls Valley, as well as the Woodberry Neighborhood, which contains many of Baltimore’s television media companies, Loyola University Athletic facilities, Kennedy Krieger, and a number of trails and parks. Cross Keys is located to the north, and has been the subject of extensive new development over the past few years, including new restaurants, new retail stores and plans for new residential and commercial buildings. To the east is Hoes Heights, Roland Park, Keswick and both the Loyola and Johns Hopkins Universities. Hampden, perhaps the best known and visited neighborhood in North Baltimore, is to the south and home of The Avenue shopping district, newly renovated Rotunda mixed-use development, dozens of restaurants, retail storefronts and significant employers. Medfield itself is a quiet, residential community that has seen a good amount of new residential development over the past 10 years, including a few blocks west along Roland Heights Avenue. Nearby homes are a mix of single family detached, townhomes and apartments. Medfield Heights Elementary and Park is just one block west.
