Welcome to Roser Park


Located just south of downtown Roser Park (w) is considered one of the city’s first suburbs. Though it would hardly be considered a suburb by modern day standards. Just minutes from all of the major conveniences of life, including a Starbucks, our small community contains 146 historic structures and spans down from 6th to 11th Avenues S and across 4th to 9th Streets.



The neighborhood sits a high 30 feet above sea level and is home to Booker Creek, which runs the picturesque Roser Park Drive and feeds into the bay. All Children’s and Bayfront (w) Hospitals sit on the other side of Booker Creek and are in the midst of a multi-million dollar renovation. That combined with the neighborhood’s proximity to I-275, makes us all feel pretty good about where our little neighborhood is going.



We have an eclectic mix of people that, for the most part, enjoy each other’s company. We have monthly porch parties, a bi-annual progressive dinner and an annual art festival and home tour.



This is our house, where we live and work. Stay tuned here to find out what’s going on with our little neighborhood and City. Plus, we’re just about to paint, and I know you want to see the new colors.
