West Laurel is 30 minutes from Baltimore and D.C.
Winding suburban streets, late 20th-century architecture and grassy lawns shaded by oak and pine trees are hallmarks of West Laurel, an unincorporated village hugging the south side of the Patuxent River. Situated at the halfway point between Baltimore and Washington, D.C., West Laurel is a mixture of subdivisions and typical suburban residential streets, plus tons of parks and riverside activities. Locals grill hot dogs and hamburgers, canoe in the river and enjoy easy access to major highways. “The location makes it a great choice because you’re close to major transportation routes,” says Rose Ogbonna, owner and broker at CitiWide Realtors, Inc. and a 34-year resident of the area. “You have the Baltimore-Washington Parkway down the street and the [Baltimore] airport about 20 minutes away. You have Interstate 95, which routes you into I-495 within 10 minutes of everywhere you are in Laurel.”
