About the Neighborhood and Homes
Howard Park is a single family home neighborhood that reflects classic mid twentieth century construction. Most homes here were built in the 1950s and are primarily brick ranchers. These homes are especially appealing to buyers looking for a single family home near town.
Homes in Howard Park typically offer two to three bedrooms and one to two bathrooms, with an average size of around 1,200 square feet. Lots are generally about two tenths of an acre, which provides usable outdoor space without excessive upkeep. Because of the age of the homes, buyers will encounter a range of conditions. Some homes have been renovated and updated with modern kitchens, bathrooms, and systems. Others may need cosmetic updates or larger improvements, which can be an opportunity for buyers looking to personalize a home over time.
The neighborhood itself feels established and inviting. Sidewalks, mature trees, and pride of ownership contribute to a strong sense of community. One of the standout features of Howard Park is its walkability. Many residents enjoy being able to walk to nearby shops, parks, restaurants, and downtown Bel Air.
