Historic Baltimore County community
Ruxton, Maryland is located west of Towson and only 20 minutes south of downtown Baltimore and is known as one the most desirable neighborhoods in Baltimore County. With tree-lined neighborhoods steeped in lush greenery and backed by a deep history dating back to colonial times, Ruxton has much to offer with an award-winning school system and a strong economy. “It’s probably the most expensive zip code in Baltimore,” explains James Weiskerger, Realtor with Next Step Realty. “People like Ruxton for its schools, access to all of the area hospitals, and its super eclectic variety of homes.” Ruxton takes its name from Nicholas Ruxton Moore, a captain and commander of the Baltimore Light Dragoons during the American Revolution, who would later serve in the U.S. House of Representatives. He purchased the land that would become Ruxton and there is a historic marker bearing his name at the intersection of Bellona and Malvern Avenues.
Ruxton is a small neigborhood located just outside of Baltimore City.
