Welcome to Elkridge, MD

Elkridge is nestled on the banks of the Patapsco River, a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay that separates Howard and Baltimore Counties. Thanks to its location along a major waterway, the town thrived in its early days by delivering tobacco crops to trading ships. Today, Elkridge real estate is just as accessible – it is bordered to the east by the Baltimore-Washington Thurgood Marshall Airport.

Close to 23,000 Elkridge real estate owners call this bedroom community home. Many are drawn by the wide range of housing options, from older single-family homes to newly built townhouses. Others appreciate Elkridge’s proximity to both Baltimore and Washington D.C. and such amenities as the Columbia Mall. This makes Elkridge real estate ideal for families and commuters alike.
