Baltimore County, located in the northern portion of Maryland is part of the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area. Baltimore County lies between the Piedmont plateau and in the southern region, the Atlantic coastal plain. This makes up the majority of Baltimore County, which is characterized as suburban. Northern Baltimore County is described as primarily rural. This is because of its vast landscape of rolling hills and deciduous forest attributes.
Derived from the barony of the Proprietor of the colony of Maryland, Caecilius Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore, in county Langford, Ireland, Baltimore County Maryland surrounds Baltimore City which left the county in 1851 to become its own city. Primarily suburban in make-up, Northern Baltimore County is chiefly rural which can be a large draw for buyers looking for an outland feel while still providing a quick commute for city workers.
Located off the I-795 corridor of Baltimore County the Owings Mills\ Reisterstown area is quickly becoming a popular choice for buyers in the Baltimore Metropolitan area. I-795 along with the Maryland Transit Administration’s subway system gives residents convent access to Baltimore City and its entertainment offerings. Two of Maryland’s premier private schools McDonough School & Garrison Forest School, call the area home helping to bolster the county’s already strong public school system. Many notable residents call the area home like Peter Angelos owner of the Baltimore Orioles, and T.V. host Mike Row.

The Metro Subway runs northwest of the city to Owings Mills. The Light Rail runs north of the city to Hunt Valley and south of the city through Baltimore Highlands with some routes terminating at the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). Also, the MTA serves Baltimore County with local and regional bus services.
