Savage offers history, highways and a lower price point
At the intersection of Interstate 95 and the Patuxent Freeway lies Savage, Maryland, a community that draws residents looking for convenience and proximity to both Baltimore and Washington D.C. “There is so much going on in this area, especially Howard County, and you have easy access to Baltimore, D.C. and Columbia,” says resident and local real estate agent Anthony Beharry. “You have a better price point compared to being in Columbia or the cities, but you still get all the great amenities.” Once a thriving cotton milling center, Savage brims with rich industrial history, with attractions like the Savage Mill Historic District and the Bollman Iron Truss Bridge, one of the oldest standing iron railroad bridges in the nation. Today, the suburb of over 8,000 residents is sought after for its convenient location and access to major highways, while providing locals with access to top-rated schools and unique recreational, dining and shopping experiences in Howard County.

Savage neighborhoods blend traditional and modern styles
A variety of housing types sit in smaller communities throughout Savage, creating pockets of neighborhoods. Bi-level and split-level homes are common amongst ranch-style houses and smaller Colonial Revival examples. Larger single-family builds feature neo-traditional and contemporary Colonial Revival styles. Custom builds typically also have traditional influences. Beharry says one of the biggest draws to Savage is that the town is more accessible to first-time homebuyers. “You can still be in Howard County at a price point that is competitive to the rest of the area,” he says. “You cross over Interstate 95 and you’re paying at least $200,000 more.” Prices for single-family homes here range anywhere from $300,000 to $1.4 million, with the median hovering around $517,000. Townhouses with eclectic features also line many of the tree-lined residential streets and are typically priced between $285,000 and $620,000. A handful of condos round out the housing inventory.

Tucked in the Savage Mill Historic District, the Savage Mill shopping plaza offers a unique flavor of local retail and restaurants.
