Southern Mondawmin is a mixed community composed of young professionals, retirees and just good hard working folks. Each block has its own character. The community is rich in character and history. It is also comprised of active community associations and dedicated residents. All row houses have basements, some with walkouts.
Homes have either two, three, four or five bedrooms.
Southern Mondawmin has a long history of stable homeownership. Many residents moved into the community in the late forties and early fifties as the area developed as the cultural and education center for African-Americans. Robert W. Coleman, one of the community s renown residents established the first school of the blind for colored. Because of those early pioneers and the stability of the community, Southern Mondawmin was never designated as an urban renewal area. While the community has changed over the past 15 years, residents, churches, businesses, and community associations are diligently working to return the area to its early luster.
