Hampton offers quaint suburban homes in Baltimore County

Picturesque drives through scenic woodlands will lead you to Hampton, Maryland. “Located north of the beltway, Hampton is a tucked away little community all to itself,” explains Josh Weiskerger, Realtor with Next Step Realty. “It has some really nice older homes, and they’re well-spaced out.” After a long day, head home to quiet Hampton, and enjoy the privacy and serenity of the woods.

Ramblers and ranch-style homes with varying sizes and features

Homes in Hampton range in price, size and style. Here you’ll find everything from cute minimalist farm-style ramblers featuring 1500 square feet, two beds and two baths going for $450,000; as well as larger mid-century modern ranch-styles, with double the square footage, four beds four baths and a pristine backyard pool for $900,000.

High-ranking Hampton Elementary and nearby colleges

Students in Hampton attend Baltimore County Public Schools, like Hampton Elementary. Serving nearly 800 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grades this school has been given a five-star rating by the Maryland State Department of Education. With such stellar reviews, it should come as no surprise that these little Dolphins’ test scores rank well above state averages. For those looking to pursue higher education options, Hampton’s proximity to both Goucher College and Towson University provides residents with the opportunity to take courses, learn new skills, or attend one of either school’s free cultural events.

Locals can explore Cromwell Valley Park and Loch Raven Reservoir

With proximity to major parks, residents of Hampton won’t need to travel far to enjoy the outdoors. A visit to Cromwell Valley Park guarantees nature, wildlife, and fun. Located on 426 acres of former farmland, this park is comprised of four properties—Willow Grove Farm, Sherwood Farm, Barran’s Property, and Betty’s Garden. An expansive range of land, today Cromwell Valley Park includes woodlands, open fields, farmland, and streams. Due to the diverse ecosystems this area is also a popular spot for bird watching and hiking. For history buffs, be sure to visit the three lime kilns and learn about the 18th-century lime quarry and industry.

To the north, Hampton also shares a border with Loch Raven Reservoir. Built to provide drinking water for the city of Baltimore, the reservoir’s Cooperative Wildlife Management Area is a pristine destination for hiking, canoeing, bird watching and even archery hunting. Take a sunset stroll around the lake’s perimeter, or simply share in a lakeside picnic with friends. For a special outing, plan a trip to the Hampton National Historic Site. Open year-round, you can tour the Ridgely family’s 1790 mansion and estate, participate in educational sessions, or attend a ranger program. Explore Hampton’s 63 acres, and enjoy its many mature trees, gardens, and historic structures.

Towson retail centers close to home

For all of your daily essentials, head over to the nearest commercial area along York Road. Only a short two miles from Hampton, you can shop at the Safeway grocery store, or pick up some take-out from one of the many casual eateries in the area. For more shopping alternatives head over to the Towson Town Center and browse their directory of over 170 stores.

I am not very trusting and almost always feel unsafe when alone.

I think there could be more bus stops and the roads could be fixed more often.
