Just 10 miles south of metropolitan Baltimore sits Glen Burnie, a densely populated, one-of-a-kind town. With roots that date back nearly two centuries, it was once called “Glennsburne,” then “Glennsbourne Farm.” After settling on “Glen Burnie” in 1930, the surprisingly laid-back suburb soon installed Ritchie Highway, which instantly boosted the community’s population and visibility. Today, affordable Glen Burnie properties for sale continue to attract would-be homeowners to the area (as new and nearly new Glen Burnie homes for sale are added to the listings daily), which now has an abundance of shopping and dining options. In addition to the Harundale Plaza and Marley Station, there are a number of chain stores along Crain Highway that cater to bargain-hunters and other savvy shoppers. Glen Burnie can’t be beat when it comes to old-school diner fare — with Checkers and Honey Bee Diner topping the list of greasy spoons — while Barnyard Pit-Beef serves some of the best sandwiches in all of Maryland.
The MLS is loaded with all types of Glen Burnie real estate these days. Those who want to be near the conveniences of Town Center or Ritchie Highway might opt to check out Glen Burnie condos for sale, which tend to be affordable and require less maintenance. Larger families, though, often start with four-bedroom Glen Burnie houses for sale, possibly even looking into local five-bedroom houses if so desired. Whatever property type you choose, you’ll be giving yourself great access to the best of Baltimore, Washington, and Annapolis — which, of course, is perfect for anyone with a job in any of those cities. The town is unusually, refreshingly diverse, and that rich mix is reflected in the spectrum of houses for sale in Glen Burnie; golf properties for sale are plentiful… but then again, so are three-bedroom Glen Burnie homes for sale! There’s a lot for everyone around here.
This Baltimore suburb is known for its reasonable real estate prices, but buyers should note some of the higher-end properties in town, many of which are loaded with amenities. Truly lovely to behold, Glen Burnie luxury properties for sale are as likely to be historic as new. Like the city itself, they are comfortable yet simple. As in many other communities, Glen Burnie residents are starting to show their concern for the environment; some of the most distignuished homes on the MLS boast energy-efficient designs. However, you'll find Glen Burnie green properties for sale even if you're shopping on a budget. If you’re looking for prime real estate, you’ll find you have plenty of choices — whether you choose to “go green” or not.
