With sprawling farmland, rolling hills and bucolic woodlands adorning Fallston, it's easy to see why Niche ranks it the best place to live in Harford County. This expansive piece of Maryland's countryside provides a sense of privacy and serenity, with houses fixed on acres of land surrounded by the town's beautiful landscape. Amid this predominantly residential community are a few local shops and restaurants beloved by the community, along with a recreation center with tons of youth sports programs. Kids also receive top-notch education through Harford County Public Schools, a highly sought-after school district in the Baltimore area.
Homes on acres of land
Fallston Road runs through the center of Fallston with several side streets that lead to subdivisions full of single-family homes in all shapes and sizes. Residents are well-dispersed and often live on half and multi-acre lots. A 1,500- to 2,500-square-foot ranch-style or bi-level home ranges from $450,000 to $650,000. Those looking for more living space can settle down in a custom-built farmhouse or new traditional home with 3,500 to more than 6,000 square feet of living space for $700,000 to more than $1 million. Most homes, whether on half or 5 acres of land, come with picturesque views, whether of farms, woods or even both.
