Laurel Woods Homes for Sale, Abingdon, MD
If you’re exploring the Abingdon area and want a neighborhood that offers both enduring charm and modern convenience, Laurel Woods deserves a top look. As a REALTOR® deeply rooted in the Harford County market, I’m pleased to introduce you to what makes Laurel Woods a desirable place to live.
Overview & Location 
Laurel Woods is a well-established neighborhood in Abingdon (Harford County), not far from major thoroughfares that connect you to Baltimore, the I-95 corridor, and neighboring communities. Abingdon itself lies about 25 miles northeast of Baltimore.
Within that context, Laurel Woods stands out as a thoughtfully developed enclave composed mostly of townhomes, duplexes, and attached homes built in the early 1990s. Laurel Woods is appealing to many first time home buyers.
History & Neighborhood Character
Though Laurel Woods does not carry deep colonial or 19th-century legacy like some parts of Harford County, its era of construction speaks to a phase of suburban growth in Abingdon around 1990–1991. Neighborhood records show that many of the attached homes date to those years. In that sense, Laurel Woods represents a “next generation” of suburban design, with clusters of residences, modest yards, and streets designed to minimize cut-through traffic.
Schools & Educational Access
Laurel Woods falls under the Harford County Public Schools (HCPS) system. Children living here typically attend elementary, middle, and high schools such as Ring Factory Elementary, Patterson Mill Middle School, and Patterson Mill High School (depending on exact lot placement and attendance zones).
Attendance zone boundaries are subject to change over time. The assignments above are based on generally current mappings, but you should always verify school boundaries with Harford County Public Schools and your real estate agent before making decisions dependent on school locations or enrollment.
What Makes Laurel Woods Special
- Affordability within Abingdon: Because many homes are attached and built earlier, pricing tends to undercut newer detached subdivisions while offering access to the same local infrastructure, roads, and amenities.
- Low to moderate maintenance burden: Exterior upkeep and common-area obligations are minimal or governed by modest HOAs. Many units have yards small enough to manage without overwhelming responsibilities.
- Walkable neighborhood layout: Streets are short, internal sidewalks are common, and many homes are within easy reach of nearby shopping, dining, and grocery options.
- Transit and commute access: Residents appreciate proximity to major arterials like MD 24 and MD 543, plus I-95 access for regional commuting. The location provides flexibility whether work is in Harford County, Baltimore, or nearby employment centers.
- Established landscaping & community feel: The mature trees, buffer plantings, and well-kept roads give it a grounded, lived-in character. One resident put it best: “We moved here because the yard was manageable, the street felt safe, and the neighbors greeted us by name.”
- Proximity to stores, restaurants, and amenities: This location is close to Festival at Bel Air, Boulevard at Box Hill and many other stores, restaurants, ice cream parlors and other amenities.
