Located just outside the city in western Baltimore County, Woodlawn is a vibrant community best known for its governmental associations. Bordered on the west by the popular neighborhood of Catonsville, and convenient to the major metropolitan areas of Baltimore and Washington, DC, Woodlawn is a wonderful alternative to the pricier homes in the surrounding areas. Like Catonsville, most homes in Woodlawn are single families, ranging from Victorian beauties to charming cape cods and rangers. For those looking for the convenience of a planned community, condominiums and townhouses are available.
Woodlawn is home to the Social Security Administration and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, providing stable employment to many residents in the area. Although Woodlawn is so deeply associated with the government organizations that it has the nickname, Security, it also has a beautiful historic neighbor that is one of the area's best kept secrets. The small neighboring town known as Dickeyville is a former mill village located along the Gwynn's Falls. Purchased and rehabilitated in 1934, developers took special care in preserving the town's distinctive character and the 1940's era homes were designed to be indistinguishable from the original, late-Victorian style workmen's homes.
Shoppers flock to Security Square Mall, which remains one of the largest shopping centers in the Baltimore area. Retail shops including Sears, Old Navy, and the eclectic Seoul Plaza, movie theatres, and restaurants, make Security Square a popular attraction for families living Gwynn Oak, Woodlawn, and other neighborhoods close by.
Catonsville, Woodlawn's popular neighboring town also features a number of fun recreational activities. Catonsville is home to many historical sites and museums, such as the Benjamin Banneker Historical Park and Museum, The Townsend House and Pullen Museum. However, the suburban town offers up much more than a taste of Maryland history. Catonsville hosts a popular Fourth of July Parade and several Arts and Crafts Festivals. In addition, there are many shopping centers, restaurants, and movie theatres along Catonsville's heavily trafficked Route 40.
In August 2008, the average home sales price for a single family home or condo in Woodlawn, MD was $369,000. While this data is collected from the MLS and deemed reliable, it is not guaranteed.
