The neighborhood is primarily residential, with homes boasting brick exteriors, shuttered windows, and either driveways or carports. West Laurel offers numerous things to do, particularly outdoor activities. The Patuxent River provides opportunities for canoeing and fishing, while the Supplee Lane Recreation Area has picnic tables and boat launches. West Laurel Park features a playground, and Fairland Recreational Park offers wooded trails and athletic fields. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy the Gunpowder Golf Course, designed with streams and valleys reminiscent of Scottish courses. The Gardens Ice House is a local spot for skating and hockey. The neighborhood benefits from its proximity to major transportation routes, including Interstate 95 and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, making Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport just a 20-minute drive away.
