Creating vibrant neighborhoods involves more than just offering housing.

It’s about nurturing a sense of community with supportive neighbors, great education, varied amenities, and strong connections

We’re dedicated to enhancing livability through continual improvement projects. By collaborating with communities, our goal is to encourage stable homeownership and boost community vitality.

The Mill on North

Introducing The Walbrook Mill Apartments and the Mill on North Avenue food hall, near Coppin State University. This project transformed an old lumber mill into affordable apartments and a showcase for locally-owned restaurants. Bring your family and friends and enjoy the delicious foods and drinks from Dream Street Cuisine, The Dancing Potato, D and B Deli, 3 Chefs, Next Phaze Cafe and Sunday Morning Coffee.

The Neighbor Next Door Initiative

The Neighbor Next Door Initiative is a transformative project aimed at revitalizing entire blocks where NHS is developing formerly vacant homes into homeownership opportunities. Homeowners on three selected blocks in the Walbrook and Panway neighborhoods received grants for exterior home improvements, stimulating full-block enhancements and fostering a stronger, more vibrant community.

Neighborhood Beautification Projects

We have proudly partnered with various community organizations on several impactful projects aimed at enhancing safety, beautifying public spaces, and fostering community engagement. These projects include: Druid Hill Canopy Crosswalk, LaBurt-Mosher Park/Mural, Urban Oasis Alleygating & Shed, William S. Baer School Sign, Brighter Baker Street Mural, Braddish Avenue Community Lot, Herbert Street Park, Parkwood Placemaking Project, Parkway Community Sign, Parkway Statue Garden, and Gwynns Falls Median landscaping.

Community Voices

Shaping the Future of Our Neighborhoods

Your Voice. Our Community. A Stronger Future!

At NHS Baltimore, we believe residents play an essential role in shaping the future of their neighborhoods. Through our Community Impact Survey, conducted every three years in partnership with local organizations, we gather feedback from residents in Panway, Robert W. Coleman, and Coppin Heights to better understand neighborhood needs, measure progress, and guide future revitalization efforts.

The survey provides valuable insight into residents’ experiences, priorities, and perceptions of their communities. These findings help NHS Baltimore and our partners identify opportunities for improvement and develop strategies that reflect the needs of the people who live in these neighborhoods.
