With various housing options to select from, there are two and three-story homes, apartments and senior housing choices. Dr. Bernard Harris, Sr. Elementary School is a beloved grade school that is located in the heart of Oliver.

Oliver has two community farms, the Oliver Community Farm, located in the 1300 block of N. Bond Street, and the Bethel Farm Lab in the 1600 block of N. Bethel Street

Just a walk away from Starbucks, Charm City Meadow Works, Legendary Lifestyle Café, and , you'll always find something good to eat!
