Description

Named for the beautiful flowers that appear each springtime. Violetville is a well-kept Baltimore neighborhood that has retained the charm and friendless first exhibited when it was a small, country village. Springtime also turns the focus to "Field Day," a parade that signals the start of the adult and little-league sports season. These teams take advantage of the large neighborhood park that features several fields, courts, playgrounds, and even a refreshment stand. Bordering residential Violetville are an office and business park, and industrial park, and a commercial area straddling the conveniently located I-95 corridor (Caton Avenue Exit). For residents, this can mean a short walk to work or public transportation.

 


Many residents take pride in this family-oriented community (where some have lived their whole lives) and work toward ever increasing the quality of living and schooling that underlie this neighborhood's stability and success. We encourage you to visit us and to make your next home Violetville.

Educational Resources

From pre-school to high school, Baltimore City’s schools serve students and families across more than 225 neighborhoods. Parents and students have numerous choices from public, private, parochial, and charter schools. Many elementary schools are zoned geographically, but are increasingly becoming schools of choice. All high schools are choice schools and all middle schools are becoming schools of choice in 2010-2011. This means students can apply to attend any school in the City regardless of their home address; some schools do have admission criteria. All charter schools and Transformation Schools have lotteries for admission.

Baltimore offers a wealth of opportunities when it comes to higher education at both the undergraduate, graduate and technical education levels. The seventeen colleges and universities within or near the City enroll more than 120,000 students. Through the Baltimore Collegetown Network, 16 area colleges cooperate and share resources, such as shuttle buses and libraries.
