Patterson Park is a beloved Baltimore City green space that connects the surrounding neighborhoods. Park visitors can enjoy miles of walking paths, a pool, boat lake, dog park, recreation center, an ice skating rink and two playgrounds. It’s perhaps best known for the Patterson Park Observatory, also known as the Pagoda, a beloved Baltimore structure that provides beautiful views of the city. The 155-acre park hosts numerous events throughout the year, including a concert series in the summer, The Great Halloween Lantern Parade and Winter Lights.

Here are three real estate listings within walking distance of the park, priced between $319,500 and $975,000.
