Odenton, Maryland

Located in Central Maryland's rolling hills, Odenton is primarily a bedroom community with a central location that allows residents an easy commute to the Washington D.C. metroplex. Odenton's approximately 20,000 residents have the advantage of being close to three major cities all flourishing with entertainment, educational, and employment opportunities - Baltimore (13 miles), Washington, D.C. (17 miles) and Annapolis (25 miles). Northern Virginia is also just a short drive away.

Odenton is just minutes from Chesapeake Bay, less than 2 hours from beautiful beaches and 30 minutes from the mountains for hiking and skiing. Residents can choose from multiple nearby sports facilities, hiking paths that are part of the Appalachian Trail, Maryland state parks, excellent golf courses, colleges and more. Most homes were previously local farms or are currently surrounded by farms, wooded areas, and designated open space.

Odenton is part of Anne Arundel County's impressive public school system. The area offers several private schooling options to choose from, as well. The nearby University of Maryland, in College Park, is a major public research university and just one of many higher education opportunities close to Odenton. Other schools include Bowie State University, the US Naval Academy, Johns Hopkins University, Georgetown University, and many more within a short commute of Odenton.

The Odenton area has many community parks that suit all ranges of recreational needs at facilities such as the Piney Orchard Park, the Piney Orchard Ice Rink, Francis Station Park (featuring several ball playing fields), Odenton Natural Area, Patuxent Ponds Park, Patuxent River Greenway and Trowsers Branch Park.

Piney Orchard residents enjoy amenities like a 15,000 square foot Community Center with an indoor lap pool, a fitness Center, tennis courts, a lake with relaxing waterfalls and walking paths, an NHL-regulation ice arena, hiking and biking trails, a 45-acre Nature Preserve with boardwalk overlooks and wildlife.

Homes range in style here too. From old farmhouses to brand-new construction, these homes are built specifically to enhance the aspects of nature, and there are many natural features in and out of the home to add to that. Prices can start as low as $90,000 (perhaps lower for a real steal) and work their way up depending on size of lot and choice of home.

Entertainment options abound with the close proximity of D.C. and Baltimore. D.C.'s world-renowned museums, the Smithsonian Institute, Theater, and the Arts offer hours of countless educational entertainment. Baltimore's National Aquarium and Harbor is a must see.
