Commuter-friendly Maryland living
Situated right between Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, Maryland City’s commuter-friendly location is unsurprisingly the number one draw that brings homeowners to the area, according to Tanika Belfield-Martin, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Centre who lives and works in the area. The second? “A lot of military come from the Fort Meade army base,” she says. “I work with a lot of people in the military and they find it very convenient because they’re not too close and not too far from the base.” And though being close to everything might make one feel like there’s no place to — well, get away from everything — the area is close to a wildlife refuge that’s not just great for exploring, it prevents the south side of the neighborhood from further development. The neighborhood is also home to the Laurel Park racetrack, which, according to Belfield-Martin, doesn’t have much of an effect on the community one way or the other.
Both entry-level and more established homes
House hunters can find condos, townhouses, and single-family homes in Maryland City. While townhouse prices start in the $300,000s for those communities built in the 1980s and 1990s, many communities, like Watershed, offer brand-new construction that can sell for as high as the upper-$600,000s. Single-family homes, which include a mix of styles like ranches, split-levels, and Colonial Revivals, are typically on winding suburban streets lined with sidewalks, trees, light posts, and tidy lawns. As far as pricing, "It’s on the higher end of prices for Maryland homes, but there are some more affordable areas,” Belfield-Martin says. “Maryland City does have smaller single-family homes that have around three bedrooms and one bathroom, so they’re in the $350,000 to $425,000 range, which isn’t extremely high.” Homes on the higher end of things can go as high as $700,000, which can afford a Colonial Revival in the popular Russett subdivision, a planned community with winding neighborhood streets, multiple cul-de-sacs, and a host of community amenities like walking trails, tot lots, and a pool.
