Why Live in Linthicum
Linthicum is a quiet neighborhood characterized by rolling hills, green lawns, and mature trees, despite its proximity to the Baltimore Beltway and Baltimore Washington International Airport. The community, originally established in 1908, offers direct access to Baltimore, Annapolis, and Washington, D.C., making it a convenient suburban location. Homes in Linthicum are primarily single-family units with spacious open floor plans and Craftsman influences, including low gabled roofs and exposed beams. The neighborhood also features three-bedroom ranch-style homes, 1980s split-levels, and two-story houses with Colonial features. Linthicum Elementary School, a National Blue Ribbon School, is highly rated and part of the Arts Empowered Minds Initiative. Andover Park, adjacent to Lindale Middle School, is a popular spot for outdoor recreation, featuring six baseball fields, a picnic area, and an equestrian center. The BWI Trail, a 12.5-mile paved path, starts here and is ideal for hiking and biking. Grocery shopping options include Food Lion and Aldi, both within a few miles, and Vince’s Farmers Market for fresh produce. Camp Meade Road is a hub for dining and small businesses, with notable spots like Matsu for sushi and The Luncheteria diner. Linthicum is 15 minutes from Baltimore, half a mile from Interstate 695, and 2 miles from Route 295, with a Light Rail stop providing easy access to the city. The neighborhood is known for its festive Halloween and Christmas celebrations, as well as summer crab feasts and snowball stands.
