Welcome to Crofton, MD

Crofton real estate is located in Anne Arundel County, about halfway between Baltimore and Washington, D.C. The community was originally established in 1964 as a gated community, but today it is open to all and Crofton real estate owners number close to 23,000.

Life in Crofton centers around the town’s many outdoor recreational opportunities, ranging from golf and tennis to biking and jogging around the 3.5-mile pedestrian-friendly Crofton Parkway. The Village Green and Crofton Park often play host to parades and festivals, while such heritage sites as Whites Hall and Linthicum Walks attest to the area’s early history.

Crofton real estate has expanded dramatically since the town’s founding, but it still maintains a welcoming, small-town atmosphere. It also boasts excellent schools, including five elementary schools, one middle school, and two high schools. It’s no wonder, then, that Crofton was ranked by Money magazine in 2007 as one of the nation’s 100 Best Place to Live.
