Woodbine offers rural living between Frederick and Baltimore
Situated halfway between larger cities like Frederick and Baltimore, Woodbine features expansive single-family homes on acres of rolling farmland. The community is split between Carroll County and Howard County along the South Branch of the Patapsco River, and the school districts in both counties offer highly ranked public schools. “You definitely get a lower price point in Carroll County. If buyers aren’t sending kids to private school, Carroll can be an option,” says Mike Evans, a Howard County local and Realtor with The Bob Lucido Team of Keller Williams Integrity. “When I sell, most people want to be on the Howard County side of Woodbine for the schools.” Locals head to nearby parks for a range of activities, including hiking and fishing at Piney Run Park or riding horses at the Carroll County Equestrian Center.
