Odenton Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Maryland

Located in Central Maryland’s rolling hills, Odenton is a bedroom community with a central location that allows residents an easy commute to the Washington, DC, metroplex. Residents have the advantage of being close to three major cities all flourishing with entertainment, educational, and employment opportunities: Baltimore (13 miles), Washington, DC (17 miles), and Annapolis (25 miles). Northern Virginia is also just a short drive away. Even Richmond is within reach thanks to the new HOV lane on I-95 south.

Odenton commuters enjoy having their own MARC Train commuter station offering daily service to Baltimore and Washington. With three major airports to choose from (Baltimore Washington International Airport, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, and Washington Dulles Airport—each 20 miles or less) anyone can pick and choose from the best rates to any destination.

Odenton is home to the Fort George G. Meade Military Reservation. This base is gearing up for a robust long-term growth due to the recently passed Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) legislation, bringing many well paying, high-tech jobs to the Odenton area. The military population makes up for about 17% of the population in Odenton.

Odenton is just minutes from Chesapeake Bay, less than two hours from beautiful beaches, and 30 minutes from the mountains for hiking and skiing. Residents can choose from multiple nearby sports facilities, hiking paths that are part of the Appalachian Trail, Maryland state parks, excellent golf courses, colleges and more. Most homes were previously local farms or are currently surrounded by farms, wooded areas, and designated open space. Odenton is that great central location with a great rural feel in which so many people seek to live. As one of the jewels of Anne Arundel County, Odenton is "the land of pleasant living."
