Halethorpe & Arbutus, MD (Baltimore, Catonsville: how much, townhome, neighborhoods)

[Tiger Beer]

Saw this has a MARC station that goes to both Baltimore and DC (closer to Baltimore though), but still in actual developed town, etc.

Anyone know much about this, or is this solidly in the Baltimore sphere, and better to inquire over on that forum.

Curious how much housing is near the MARC, and if its walkable to the station.

Do many commute to DC from there, or mostly to Baltimore?

The communities of Halethorpe, Arbutus, Lansdowne, SW Baltimore, Linthicum, Elkridge, and Catonsville sort of all meet up right next to each other in that area.

Prices vary, Catonsville is pretty expensive, as our some of the parts of SW Baltimore. There is a wide variety of sizes, prices and niceness of neighborhoods around there. Not positive on price, but there is certainly some nice little communities in Halethorpe/Arbutus. Lansdowne will be the cheapest, but there are some sketchy Townhome neighborhoods around there.

I have ridden the MARC from north of Baltimore to DC, and quite a few riders get on in the morning at this station for the ride south. I don't know how many take the MARC from here into Penn Station in Baltimore, but I doubt that it would be that many. There are houses within walking distance to the station, but I don't know a lot about the neighborhood other than my brother-in-law and sister-in-law live nearby and they seem to like it.
