Cherry Hill is one of the southernmost neighborhoods in Baltimore, Maryland. It is a relatively isolated enclave within the city, bounded by the Middle Branch of the Patapsco River to the north, the river's main channel to the east, and railroad tracks, including the tracks of the Baltimore Light Rail system, to the west and south. The only roads leading in or out of the neighborhood are Hanover Street, Potee Street, and Waterview Avenue; there's also a Light Rail stop at the northwest edge of the neighborhood.

The Cherry Hill neighborhood was developed fairly recently in Baltimore's history. The community was founded as a home for African-American veterans returning from World War II. Since the 1980s, the neighborhood has had a reputation for gang violence, mostly fueled by the drug trade.
