Welcome to Ellicott City, MDFounded in 1772 as a flour mill town, Ellicott City has since grown into a thriving – and charming – Baltimore suburb. Its popular Main Street is lined with shops, boutiques, and art galleries, as well as a wide variety of dining establishments. And its downtown historic district is the site of the nation’s oldest railroad station, now preserved as the B&O Railroad Station Museum. Other attractions that call Ellicott City real estate home include the Chesapeake Shakespeare Company and the Howard County Center for the Arts.
As the seat of Howard County, Ellicott City is served by the nationally renowned (and cost-efficient) Howard County school system. The city’s youths can choose from eight public high schools, in addition to a number of private schools. This makes Ellicott City real estate highly desirable among families with school-age children. Yet the city’s proximity to Baltimore makes it just as appealing among commuters, while it’s historic, small-town feel is a draw for retirees. In short, Ellicott City real estate offers something for everyone. | More Local Area InformationColumbia began in the late 1960s as a planned community.
