Today known as Lockheed-Martin, the aerospace technology company continues to employ many Middle River and Essex residents, who enjoy an easy commute within their own neighborhood.
Due to the amazing potential and convenient location of the affordable water community, more and more people are looking to purchase a home in the increasingly gentrified town. Its location in the county gives Middle River residents access to one of the state's best school systems, which includes Eastern Tech public high school, a competitive and prestigious magnet program and Maryland State Blue Ribbon award winner. Middle River is a smart and attainable place for first time buyers to call home.
