Baltimore Highlands, Maryland
Baltimore Highlands is a census-designated place (CDP) in Baltimore County, Maryland, United States, directly south of the city of Baltimore. The population was 7,019 at the 2010 census. At the 2000 census and earlier, the area was delineated as part of the Lansdowne-Baltimore Highlands CDP.
In the area known as Baltimore Highlands is a legendary mansion called English Consul. The land and house were owned by William Dawson, the first English Consul to Maryland. One legend claims that Dawson had a brother who was transported from England to America in disgrace. Each year he was to receive a whip lashing as punishment for the crime he had committed. This took place on the English Consul estate. Another legend has it that the mansion was a stop on the Underground Railroad before the Civil War. In 1909 a developer purchased the estate. It was eventually divided into the areas known as Baltimore Highlands, Rosemont, Friendship Gardens and the small section still called English Consul.
In the 1980s Baltimore County Recreation and Parks opened a large parcel of land for public use. Southwest Area Park is located on the Patapsco River just below Baltimore Highlands.
Baltimore Highlands is located at 39°14′09″N 76°38′14″W / 39.23583°N 76.63722°W (39.2359, −76.6374). It is bounded to the northeast by the border of Baltimore City, to the west by the Baltimore–Washington Parkway, separating the area from Lansdowne, and to the south and southeast by the Patapsco River, which forms the boundary with Anne Arundel County.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 1.8 square miles (4.7 km2), of which 1.7 square miles (4.5 km2) is land and 0.08 square miles (0.2 km2), or 4.80%, is water.
The community is served by Baltimore Light Rail, which stops at the Baltimore Highlands station.

Baltimore Highlands first appeared in the 2010 U.S. census after the Lansdowne-Baltimore Highlands CDP was divided into Baltimore Highlands CDP and Lansdowne CDP .
