Insiders' guide to Eldersburg

A very good article recently posted in the Sun .... "Insiders' guide to Eldersburg".

This really highlights some of the big reasons why we moved to Eldersburg 2 1/2 years ago…. Can’t believe it has already been that long… good schools, great environment, low traffic (yes.. our traffic is a joke), more stores/retail in the near future, great communities…


This year, Money Magazine's annual list of Top 100 Best Places to Live ranked Eldersburg as No. 56

From CNN.com

56. Eldersburg, Md.
Population: 31,800
Median home price (2006): $419,085
Average property taxes (2006): $2,730

Situated 30 miles west of Baltimore, Eldersburg has grown at an impressive clip in recent years, adding a Home Depot, a Wal-Mart and a Kohl's department store. A new "green" shopping center called Main Street Eldersburg - the first of its kind in Maryland - is to be finished in 2008. Yet it's still a small, quiet town, its lush hills dotted with old churches and houses, and the sprawling Liberty reservoir east of town offers hiking trails and gorgeous scenery. On the downside, though, high home prices make it a little exclusive, and the long commute to Baltimore means more jobs are far away. -A.F.

Watch out.. Farmington, Michigan.. next year we are gunning for you.. # 55

Yes, we do live in a Great Area. We could use more shopping though.
