Explore Autumn Run in Abingdon, MD: Your Next Home Awaits

If you’re searching for a community in Abingdon that offers modern homes, convenient access to amenities, and strong growth potential, **Autumn Run** stands out as a smart choice. As a local real estate expert, I’m excited to guide you through what makes Autumn Run special and how to find the right home here.

Where Is Autumn Run & What’s Its Context?

Autumn Run is a residential neighborhood situated within Abingdon in Harford County. Abingdon lies approximately 25 miles northeast of Baltimore, bordered by major arteries including MD 7 and close to Interstate 95, between Exits 77 (MD 24) and 80 (MD 543). Abingdon itself has a footprint of roughly 2.77 square miles and a population of about 4,826 people. Autumn Run enjoys the benefit of being in the Abingdon zone while offering somewhat newer construction and modern neighborhood planning.

Construction in Autumn Run began in the mid-2000s and ran into the early 2010s. The neighborhood features a mix of single-family homes and attached (townhouse / carriage) layouts. Home sizes typically range from around 1,696 to 2,544 square feet, with 3 to 4 bedrooms and 3 to 4 bathrooms. The mid-to-late 2000s era gives the community a contemporary feel without the wear of decades-old structures. According to public neighborhood directories, purchase prices have ranged from roughly \$255,000 to \$325,000 in recent years, though newer listings stretch beyond that range depending on upgrades, lot, and finishes.

Neighborhood Character & Highlights

Autumn Run is often praised for its quiet, tree-lined streets and cohesive layout. Residents enjoy sidewalks, street buffers, and a sense of neighborhood coherence. On community boards and local platforms, you’ll often see comments like, “peaceful and well-maintained,” “quiet atmosphere,” and “welcoming.” The presence of mature plantings and wooded buffers helps soften the edges and gives many lots the feel of being tucked into green surroundings. One longtime resident put it this way:

“We moved here because the layout is so walkable, the streets feel safe, and the houses are newer enough that we don’t fear hidden repairs.”

Because it’s not an ultra-dense development, Autumn Run tends to strike a balance between community vitality and residential calm. The HOA for the neighborhood handles shared common areas, rules, and maintenance of roads or shared infrastructure. When exploring specific properties, it’s important to review the HOA’s bylaws, reserve funds, and assessment history to be confident in future costs and responsibilities.

Real Estate Landscape & Active Listings

Currently, the Autumn Run market offers new opportunities regularly, but inventory is not as extensive as in larger subdivisions. A few recent active listings include:

• 3107 Raking Leaf Drive: 3 beds, 3 full + 1 half baths, ~2,080 sq ft
• 2976 Raking Leaf Drive: 3 beds, 2 full + 2 half baths, ~2,292 sq ft
• 2945 Raking Leaf Drive: 3 beds, 3 baths, ~1,280 sq ft — one of the more compact options available
• 3109 Raking Leaf Drive: 3 beds, 4 baths, ~1,696 sq ft

These homes reflect typical size ranges and pricing tiers. Some larger or more upgraded units may sell above these norms. Because Autumn Run is relatively newer, many homes have modern systems, energy efficiency features, and floor plans that appeal to today’s buyers. But no two homes are alike — inspecting condition, layout, upgrades, and lot features is key. As your agent, I monitor new listings daily and can help you act when the right opportunity appears.

Schools & Educational Access

Autumn Run falls under the **Harford County Public Schools (HCPS)** system, which serves all of Harford County through over 50 schools. HCPS prides itself on offering a diverse, balanced, and evolving curriculum, with support for arts, technology, special education, and career/technical programs across its schools.

In the Abingdon / Autumn Run area, common assignments for elementary and secondary school attendance include Abingdon Elementary, William S. James Elementary, and Old Post Road Elementary; many children continue on to Patterson Mill Middle and Patterson Mill High (or other high school options depending on routing). Some homes may also map toward Edgewood High School based on location relative to district divisions. These elementary schools have frequently been highlighted as among the top public elementary options in Abingdon. (For example, Abingdon Elementary and William S. James often appear in local rankings as among the more highly rated public elementary schools in the Abingdon area.)

Important disclaimer: School attendance boundaries are subject to change by the school district. The assignments above are based on current or recent data, but prospective buyers should always confirm the present school routing with HCPS or your agent before making a decision tied to school placement.

Advantages & Considerations in Autumn Run

When evaluating Autumn Run, here’s a look at what many residents cite as advantages — and what prudent buyers should also weigh:

What Often Appeals

• Modern infrastructure and construction: The homes are new enough to benefit from modern building standards, updated mechanical systems, and less deferred maintenance risk compared to older neighborhoods.
• Balanced maintenance expectations: The HOA handles many shared elements, so you won’t be wholly on your own for everything — but many responsibilities are still the owner’s, keeping fees more moderate.
• Access to amenities and commute routes: Autumn Run offers proximity to retail, restaurants, and grocery along major roads. Its location affords good access to MD 7, MD 543, MD 24, and I-95, helping with commuting toward Baltimore, Aberdeen Proving Ground, or regional job centers.
• Strong resale outlook: Because Autumn Run lies within Abingdon’s built-out infrastructure and close to established services, homes here often remain in steady demand. As development fills in nearby areas, visibility and value may strengthen further.
• Visual appeal and community cohesion: Trees, buffers, and thoughtful streetscape design contribute to a polished and harmonious look across the neighborhood.

Things to Inspect Closely

• HOA terms: Understand all rules, reserve funding, assessments, and how well the HOA has managed finances historically.
• Lot slope and drainage: Some lots border natural buffers or green buffers, so check for water run-off or grade issues.
• Noise, neighboring layouts, and privacy: Because lots may back up to open land or roads, site orientation matters.
• Condition of mechanical systems, roofs, and finishes — even newer homes may show signs of deferred upkeep.
• School map changes — recheck assignment before purchase, especially when school populations shift or rezoning is considered.

Living in Autumn Run: Lifestyle & Surroundings

Autumn Run’s location connects you to a mix of conveniences and natural elements. Nearby you’ll find retail and services along the main corridors, as well as quieter residential roads. The proximity of historical sites such as **Woodside** (a Federal-era home from 1823) adds local flavor to surrounding areas just miles away. Autumn Run sits just north of Edgewood and near the constant development in the Abingdon corridor, giving residents both modern convenience and a sense of connection to the region’s growth trajectory.

Within a few miles, natural features like local wooded parcels, stream corridors, and buffers contribute to a semi-wooded feel in parts of the neighborhood. For educational and nature enrichment, Harford Glen Environmental Education Center (operated by HCPS) lies further west along Winters Run and serves as a countywide resource for environmental learning.

Is Autumn Run a Fit for You?

If your goal is to enter Abingdon’s real estate market with a home that is modern, well-maintained, and tied into the infrastructure of the area, Autumn Run is a strong candidate. It offers a bridge between newer subdivisions and more established neighborhoods, with many of the advantages of both. The key is working with an agent who can watch for listings, assess comparables, dig into HOA details, and guide you exactly when a home fits your preferences.

I’m ready to assist you in narrowing down units, scheduling viewings, and analyzing long-term resale potential. Autumn Run is often under-searched compared to older neighborhoods, so a well-informed approach can bring real opportunities.
