Community Associations
A community is not only defined by its physical, environmental, and social characteristics, but also by
the local institutions that effect change within the community. Educational, spiritual, political, and economic
institutions all operate within communities. They bring in new people, unify residents, and work to improve
the quality of life for their constituents.
The Role of Community Associations
Hundreds of self-recognized neighborhoods, each with its own neighborhood association, give the
Baltimore region a strong sense of community identity. It is these community associations that work
to govern, fight for, and improve the region’s neighborhoods.
Community Associations in the Gwynns Falls
The facing map shows the self-identified boundaries of many associations within the Gwynns Falls
Watershed. These institutions are especially important since they often end up speaking for the
community as a whole. Even within community associations, though, there may be differences of
opinion. Organizers need to be sensitive to such issues when working with community groups.
The following are community associations within the Gwynns Falls Watershed that are listed with
the Baltimore County and Baltimore City Planning Departments.*
