A quiet, residential area adjacent to Towson
About 8 miles northeast of Baltimore rests the suburban community of Parkville. Around 30,000 residents inhabit its gridded streets, just south of the Beltway. “Parkville is an established community with old-school charm,” says Mary Anne Long, a Realtor with Keller Williams Integrity in the Baltimore metropolitan area. “It’s close to everything, but the houses here are more affordable than nearby Towson.” Many Parkville residents work in the shopping centers, major hospitals and eclectic dining district that sit right next door in Towson. After a day downtown, locals can retreat back to Parkville, where traffic is minimal, neighbors socialize on their front porches, and families ride their bikes down the wide streets.
Single-family houses line Parkville’s gridded streets
Apart from a few condos and row homes, the market mostly consists of single-family properties. “It’s a streetcar suburb, where most houses were built in the mid-1900s,” Long says. “Plenty of the older houses can be purchased affordably and renovated.” Architecture ranges from Cape Cods and ranch-style housing to New Traditional builds and Colonial Revivals. Condos sell in the $100,000s, while row homes start around $120,000 and cap at $400,000. Single-family prices go anywhere from $110,000 to over $850,000, with newer, six-bedroom homes on expansive lots at the top of the range.
