Residential community with natural attractions
North Laurel offers quiet, suburban living with residential streets tucked amongst parcels of farmland and woodlands. “What keeps people in the area generation after generation is the beauty of nature,” says Patty Smallwood, a Broker with the Smallwood Team at Maryland Real Estate Network who has been selling homes in the area since 1985. “We have a mixture of water and beautiful terrain; it’s just a great place to grow up and live.” The broader Laurel region spans four counties: Howard, Montgomery, Anne Arundel and Prince George’s Counties. Homeowners in North Laurel reside in Howard County, just north of Patuxent River and midway between Baltimore and Washington, D.C.

Homebuyers will find traditional, single-family homes built from the mid-1900s to the early 2020s on many of North Laurel's tree-lined streets.

Most homes feature attached garages, mature landscaping and modest lots with an average size of about 7,840 acres. Prices range from around $450,000 for a three-bedroom ranch-style home to $1.3 million for new construction.

Convenient supermarket and local favorites off Route 1
