Hampton offers suburban homes in Baltimore County

Hampton is a verdant suburban hamlet just outside of the Baltimore Beltway. It sits between the city and Loch Raven Reservoir, sprawling through the woods northeast of Towson. “It’s a quiet area around Providence Road and Seminary Avenue,” says Lori Rogers of Monument Sotheby’s International Realty. “There’s lots of beautiful land up there, and especially since Covid hit, there’s been a very tight-knit community feel to it. The residents there started something called the Hamilton Social Club, which throws a festival every summer to benefit the local volunteer fire department. That’s the kind of place it’s become – very community-oriented and close.”

On a map, it may appear to be just another suburb of Baltimore. But Hampton locals take a kind of small-town pride in their unique and serene neighborhood.

Single family homes with varying sizes and a wide price range

Townhouses, mostly concentrated in the center of the neighborhood, can cost anywhere from $330,000 to $480,000, depending on square footage and number of bedrooms. Single-family homes in Hampton come in a variety of sizes and styles. “There are a lot of brick ranch-style houses in the area,” Rogers says. “But there are Cape Cods and larger Modern Traditional builds as well.” There are few sidewalks throughout the area. Homes sit just off the winding residential streets on wooded lots often large enough to accommodate backyard in-ground swimming pools. Prices typically range from around $345,000 to $880,000, varying based on build year, square footage and number of bedrooms. The largest homes in the community, which usually sit on lots larger than one acre, can fetch sums of up to $1.5 million.

The CAP Index Crime Score in Hampton is 2 out of 10; compared to the national average of 4.

Nearby private schools are long-standing Baltimore institutions

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

Cromwell Valley Park, on the south side of the community, is located on over 400 acres of former farmland. The park is comprised of four separate properties - Willow Grove Farm, Sherwood Farm, Barran’s Property and Betty’s Garden. It offers an expansive sprawl of woodland and open fields, popular for birdwatching and hiking. To the north, Hampton is bordered by the Loch Raven Reservoir, which provides space for kayaking, canoeing, fishing and archery hunting. “One of the other things worth mentioning is the Hampton Mansion,” Rogers says. “That’s been declared a national historic landmark, and people come from all over to walk their dogs through the park around it.” The mansion, built in the 18th century, is part of a preserved agricultural plantation that now acts as a park and museum. Tours of the building are available year-round.

Towson Town Center offers retail options nearby

Commercial centers line Joppa Road and York Road, where residents can shop for groceries at Sprouts and Safeway or pick up daily household items at Target. The nearby Towson Town Center ranks among Maryland’s largest indoor shopping malls, housing over 190 restaurants and retailers. While the Town Center remains the largest shopping destination, locals can also find restaurants like Seasons Pizza and Villagio Café along York Road, or Spice and Dine Thai Restaurant on Joppa Road.

The Beltway, interstates and surface streets make commuting simple

Interstate 695, known locally as the Baltimore Beltway, forms the southern boundary of the neighborhood and connects residents to Baltimore City. Interstates 83 and 95 are major north-south highways for the region, providing access either to downtown or Baltimore Washington International Airport within 30 minutes. Surface streets like Providence Road and York Road are the quickest way to get to Towson and the University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center.

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.
