Access to major thoroughfares and community events
To the northeast of the city of Baltimore is the community of Overlea, where location is everything. “Overlea is in a very convenient location,” says Buddy Redmer, a Realtor with Keller Williams Gateway LLC who lives in Baltimore. “It straddles the line between Baltimore County and Baltimore City, so people can access both easily.” While the community may have easy access to the city of Baltimore, the Overlea Community Association holds events of their own, including annual events like ArtFest and fireworks at Fullerton Park. The collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge early on March 26th may have some effects on commute, especially since it is part of Interstate 695, a beltway around Baltimore, but most residents should still be able to reach downtown Baltimore easily. “The collapse isn’t that far away, but was in a different direction than what most residents will take,” Redmer says.
Cape Cods and Foursquares with some recent renovations
Many homes within Overlea are Cape Cod and American Foursquares, but there are also ranch, bungalows, split-levels and some Colonial Revivals. With a median price of $274,500, most homes can begin around $240,000 for a home with 1,300 square feet and reach $467,000 for one with over 2,400 square feet. While there is a grid pattern to roads in some sections, Overlea also has winding roads and steep hills. Homes tend to be closer together, with a small front yard, and most streets branch off of Belair Road before ending in a dead-end. Most homes were built before 2000, although some homes built as recently as 2017 can be found throughout the neighborhood. While there is room for street parking, most homes have private driveways and garages, with some carports as well. Some homes may have undergone recent renovations, more likely homes built before 1950, thereby increasing the price.
Bungalow style homes are commonly available in Overlea.
Overlea is mostly comprised of single-family homes.

The local businesses are pretty nice. The area is moderately clean and when I enter one I usually leave with the items I intended to buy.

Since I grew up in a rural area close to a town, I am used to having my privacy. The houses here are mostly just stacked on top of each other and a driveway with a 2 square foot piece of land is a yard. I am not a fan.
