Surprisingly quiet in the suburbs of Baltimore
Despite Linthicum’s proximity to the Baltimore Beltway and Baltimore Washington International Airport, this community of rolling hills, green lawns and mature trees is surprisingly quiet. “We’re not in the flight pattern, so we don’t hear a lot of planes,” says Ben Ronsaville, who’s lived in the area for the past 5 years. “And we have a nice forest that blocks the noise from the beltway most of the time.” The fact that residents are able to enjoy the peaceful suburban environment of Linthicum without sacrificing convenient access to multiple nearby cities sets the area apart. Originally constructed along major railways in 1908, the community’s placement ensures direct access to Baltimore, Annapolis and Washington, D.C. – a significant contributor to the neighborhood’s suburbanization over the years. “All our neighbors are just really kind-hearted folks,” Ronsaville continues. “There are sidewalks and yards for dogs to play in. It’s quiet but we’re right by everything. There’s only so much more you could want, you know?”

Many houses have attached garages and sit on lots that are 7,000 square feet and up. “People here take great care of their houses,” explains Realtor Bruce Fink, a long-time resident. “Well-manicured lawns. It looks like a little train garden.” Mature trees shade the yards and sidewalks weave through the cul-de-sacs, connecting neighbors to one another as they walk dogs or host cookouts in their driveways.

Camp Meade Road and Landsdowne Station
Residents have no shortage of options for grocery shopping, with Food Lion 1.5 miles away and Aldi another mile and a half on. Across from Aldi at Landsdowne Station, neighbors can hit the gym at LA Fitness and grab any big-box needs from Walmart. From spring to autumn, locals can pick up fresh produce at Vince’s Farmers Market on Baltimore Annapolis Boulevard. Camp Meade Road, directly in the neighborhood, is a hub of restaurants and small businesses. “We have Matsu over there,” Ronsaville continues. “It’s this little Japanese place that does excellent sushi. The black lobster roll is to die for.” Camp Meade Road is also home to The Luncheteria, a small-scale diner that’s been serving the same classic menu items for over 30 years.

To Baltimore and D.C., by Light Rail or highway

And we have a Light Rail stop.” I-695 connects the neighborhood to all of Baltimore City, while 295 heads either north 6.5 miles to M&T Bank Stadium or south 34 miles to Washington, D.C.

Halloween and Christmas festivities in Linthicum
Halloween and Christmas bring a special sense of joy to this suburban Baltimore community. “Over by Matsu there’s this one guy who just goes all-out,” Ronsaville says. “On Halloween he sets up a walkthrough haunted house thing and puts a projector screen over his house and plays movies on it. He does the same thing at Christmas – his back yard is just full of decorations and lights, and he has a Santa Claus come to take pictures with the kids. It’s all free and the whole neighborhood turns out for it.”
A true blue Maryland town
Linthicum is a Maryland town through and through, so it would not be summer without crab feasts in residents’ backyards. G&M is a legendary local establishment for crabcakes, and of course when the weather turns hot in late August, Marylanders will flock to snowball stands for egg custard flavored ice treats topped with marshmallow fluff.
G&M Restaurant is a casual eatery known for its generously sized and delicious crab cakes.
