Located conveniently close to Baltimore, Washington
DC and Annapolis. Real estate in Howard County is newer than
the average age of surrounding counties:
County Median Age
- Anne Arundel 37 years old
- Baltimore 46 years old
- Carroll 26 years old
- Frederick 35 years old
- Howard 18 years old
- Montgomery 40 years old
- Prince George's 52 years old
The reason Howard County homes are, on the average, newer
than homes in surrounding counties rests in the development
of Columbia. The first families moved into their homes in
this planned community in 1987. Moreover, fully one-third
of residential deeded properties in Howard County are in Columbia.
So, the average age of the county is low compared to Montgomery,
Frederick, Anne Arundel, Carroll, Baltimore and Prince George's
Counties, all of which border Howard County. The newness of
the housing stock is one of the facts that makes Howard County
homes so much in demand.
Newer homes, younger families, progressive public schools,
convenience to employment centers and to the BWI Airport make
Howard County a place to build that wonderful new home. |
