The once obscure Howard County town of Fulton has recently revamped itself as a new planned community known as Maple Lawn. Surrounded by scenic rural pastures and farmland, Maple Lawn is now an upscale destination for Marylanders from Howard County and beyond.
Built on the small town design principles of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Maple Lawn is composed of six (6) distinct residential communities of condominiums, townhouses, and spacious single family homes, which surround commercial businesses and shopping district. Residents of this vibrant new community can enjoy the luxury of being able to live, work, and play in the same neighborhood, but Maple Lawn is also strategically located between the larger cities of Baltimore and Washington DC, making it a convenient choice for many commuters.
Recognized for its attractive and innovative design, Maple Lawn was named the top residential development by the Baltimore Business Journal and was awarded the National Association of Home Builders' Best in American Living for its unique and varied housing options. Each home is designed with an eye toward antique charm, but comes with modern amenities and open floor plans. Those looking to enjoy the peace and quiet of a rural hamlet can choose from grand, colonial style single family homes, while those who desire a more urban feel may be interested in their condominiums and three-story town homes located in the Maple Lawn Downtown.
The downtown shopping district features a number of critically acclaimed restaurants, as well as trendy boutiques, salons, locally owned coffee houses, and business centers. Although there are many options for recreation within Maple Lawn, the cities of Baltimore and Washington are each only 30 minutes away and boast a multitude of musical venues, museums, shopping, and site seeing.
With the popularity of the Maple Lawn development and relative scarcity of older homes in the area, luxury builders are taking advantage of the abundance of land available. Adorable older farm houses and enormous new homes sit on multi-acre lots of lush green grass and are surrounded by the bucolic fields of this once agricultural area.
As part of the Howard County School System, residents of Maple Lawn enjoy the educational benefits of the top rated schools in the state of Maryland. The convenience of the area, proximity to the major cites of Washington DC and Baltimore, and excellent schools enhance home values tremendously.
In August 2008, the average home sales price for a single family home or condo was $935,503 in Maple Lawn, MD. While this data is collected from the MLS and deemed reliable, it is not guaranteed.
