Cedarcroft is a tree-shaded north Baltimore suburb

Cedarcroft is a forested suburban village in north Baltimore, known for its scenic canopy of mature sycamore trees that arch over residential streets. Residents live in charming single-family homes, many built in the early 1900s. Several shopping areas line York Road, which forms the neighborhood's eastern boundary. There are also several parks just minutes away from locals, as well as institutions like Towson University to the north and Loyola University Maryland to the south.

Charming prewar homes on display

Spanning several decades and capturing multiple architectural styles, the neighborhood offers Dutch Colonials with barn-like gambrel roofs, Tudors with exposed wooden timbers and minimalist bungalow and Cape Cod homes. Prices here range from the lower $500,000s to the lower $700,000s, depending on the property's square footage, age, and condition. “People like Cedarcroft because of the tree-lined streets, the large homes with unique architecture, and the value you get compared to more expensive neighborhoods that have the same feel, like Homeland and Roland Park are usually more expensive,” says Christopher Stumbroski, a longtime native of Baltimore County and Realtor with eXp Realty, LLC.

Places to shop and dine in the city and Baltimore County

York Road Plaza is the nearest shopping center, roughly half a mile away. Residents can stop by Giant to get groceries or grab food at one of several fast-casual dining spots, like Hibachi Express Japanese Grill. “The location is very good, it's just south of the county seat of Towson, very easily accessible to major highways, and shopping and dining options in the county,” says Stumbroski. “It’s also close to Belvedere Square Market and other options around north Baltimore.” Towson Town Center is a shopping mall just 3 miles north in Baltimore County, offering major department stores like Macy’s and Nordstrom Rack.

Within the city, there’s Belvedere Square Market, less than a mile south on York Road. This popular market offers a variety of diverse restaurants and boutiques to browse.
