Rosedale, MD 541 Apartments for Rent

Rosedale is home to Maryland Route 7, once the Philadelphia Road, which bore George Washington on his way to New York in 1789 for his inauguration as the first American President.

A young English resident named Dale once owned a home above the then-called Philadelphia Road that George Washington traversed. His garden was covered with strikingly attractive roses -- so attractive that the area was named Rosedale for him and his flowers. In the 19th century, immigrants were drawn to the community with access to gas and electric lighting, transportation via electric trains, and boats along the river. In fact, schooners were once able to sail all the way up Back River (although today, a rowboat might be more in order). Rosedale grew as a residential suburb to Baltimore primarily in the 1950s. Three quarters of the housing available today are homes built between 1854 and 1979. So you better like history if you decide to move here!

Living in Rosedale

This cheerful community of residents was primarily a farming community until after World War II. It was then that development took over those rolling green Maryland fields, and the town became suburban. The town's name really does have a lot to do with flowers

There's more to do than just stop and smell the roses here, though. You can enjoy quiet life in town, or you can make the easy trek into Baltimore. It's a world-class city with endless things to do. Check out an Orioles game or a Ravens game. Sports lovers will have an awesome time!
