The houses aren’t close together like most modern neighborhoods.” Glenwood is less than 3 miles from the shopping, dining and entertainment in Bel Air’s downtown, but the neighborhood itself has a quiet, almost private atmosphere.

Distinctive ranch-style houses with large, manicured lawns
Glenwood is known for its large ranch-style homes, often built out of brick or stone. The neighborhood also has a smattering of Garrison Colonials and split-levels. Homes typically sit on about half an acre, sometimes closer to a full acre, and lawns are carefully maintained and manicured. Trees are also a common sight in front and back yards. Glenwood’s streets are quiet and sidewalk-free, but that doesn’t stop residents from going for a walk. “Every time I’m there, there ’s are people walking their dogs and taking evening strolls,” McGhee says. Homes rarely go for sale in Glenwood; only seven sold in 2024 and ranged in price from $450,000 to $650,000. McGhee says that homes here can occasionally climb as high as $750,000.
