| Roland Park is the first planned "suburban" community in North America. Located in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. It was developed between 1890 and 1920 as an upper-class streetcar suburb. The early phases of the neighborhood were designed by Edward Bouton and Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. The neighborhood is home to several elite private schools such as Friends School of Baltimore, Gilman School, Roland Park Country School, the Bryn Mawr School, and Boys' Latin School of Maryland (collectively known as the Roland Park Five to locals). Tree-lined streets, old mansions, and manicured lawns make this area highly desirable, and therefore highly expensive. |

What Makes Roland Park Unique?
- Petit Louis - serves dinner every night of the week, offering time-honored specialties such as Mussels Provencale, Pate Maison, and Bistro Steak and Frites. The ever changing, moderately priced menu showcases only the freshest and best seasonal dishes. Their wine list also offers over one hundred labels from every region of France. A third of the list will consist of quaffable country wines. The rest of the list is devoted to famous villages. Expect wines chosen for their high quality and archetypal characteristics.
- Water Tower - an octagonal, 148-foot structure, that has served as a local landmark throughout most of the community's history. Spring water was pumped 70 feet high into the tower and distributed under pressure through a large main to every community residence. This monumental Italianate tower stored water until 1930, when Baltimore City switched the community to the reservoir system. Now closed and empty, the tower remains a local landmark.
- Roland Park Historic District - is located between Belvedere Ave., Falls Rd., 39th St. and Stoney Run, northwest of Johns Hopkins University on University Parkway. The houses within the district are primarily private residences not open to the public.
