Rognel Heights is a neighborhood in the Southwest District of Baltimore, sandwiched between Hunting Ridge (west) and Edmondson Village (east) along Edmondson Avenue (south). Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park begins at the neighborhood's northern edge. Its boundaries are marked by Swann Avenue on the western edge, North Woodington Road on the east and Edmondson Avenue on the southern edge. The neighborhood of Uplands is located to the south of Rognel Heights, on the opposite side of Edmondson Avenue.[2][3][4][5]
The neighborhood's origin dates back to 1895, when a developer installed a water system and started building houses. Many of its current residences are row houses and brick duplexes built between 1940 and 1969, but the neighborhood also has frame houses pre-dating World War I.[6][7]
