Box Hill Community, Abingdon MD: Space, Convenience, and Green Surroundings

Box Hill in Abingdon, Maryland blends a residential, tree-lined setting with day-to-day convenience. Tucked just off the I-95/MD-24 corridor, the community places shopping, dining, healthcare, and major employers within an easy drive, while interior streets, mature landscaping, and pocket green spaces create a calmer feel at home. Many properties are mid- to larger-sized, set on well-proportioned lots, and a number of homes enjoy views of wooded buffers or community open space.

Where It Is & What It’s Like

Located in southern Harford County, Box Hill sits between Bel Air and the Aberdeen/Edgewood employment centers, with quick access to I-95 for regional commutes. Within minutes you’ll find everyday amenities at the Boulevard at Box Hill and Constant Friendship retail areas, yet the neighborhood itself maintains a residential pace. Sidewalks, established trees, and careful landscaping are common, and many sections include HOA-maintained common areas that keep the streetscape consistent throughout the year.

A Quick Local History

Abingdon traces its roots to the 1700s, long before the interstate made this corner of Harford County a commuter hub. As the I-95 corridor expanded in the late 20th century, subdivisions like Box Hill took shape to meet demand for modern homes close to services and jobs. The result is a community that feels established—mature trees, steady reinvestment, and infrastructure that has had time to settle—yet remains closely tied to the county’s growth and everyday conveniences.

Homes & Architecture

Expect a mix of single-family homes and attached styles depending on the street or section. Many homes were built from the 1980s forward, with floor plans that emphasize comfortable gathering areas, practical bedroom counts, and attached garages. Exteriors commonly feature brick accents or durable siding; inside, you’ll find a range of finish levels—from original elements kept in good condition to thoughtful modernizations (updated kitchens, refreshed baths, finished lower levels, and outdoor living upgrades like decks or patios). Lot sizes are generally “usable,” offering room for gardens, play space, and low-maintenance landscaping without overwhelming upkeep.

What Residents Say
