Zip code–21210 The Evergreen neighborhood is located in North Baltimore and was one of the first residential developments in its area, coming even before Roland Park.

The land subdivided to become Evergreen was inherited by an heir of the Cockey family in 1813 and was originally called “Ridgely’s Whim.” [1] In 1873, two men named Brooks and Barton purchased the land and began to create a neighborhood called Evergreen for middle-class workers and their families.

There were two railroad stops on opposite corners of the neighborhood; one was at Cold Spring Lane and one at Oakdale.

Many of its residents were builders and tradesmen who worked in Roland Park during its major period of construction from 1895 to 1910.

While Evergreen is mostly composed of residential houses, it also features a neighborhood commercial area on the south boundary at Cold Spring Lane.

Most houses have good-sized yards, well-tended gardens and a variety of trees, shrubs, and bushes.
