Todd Lakes Homes for Sale and Neighborhood Guide

Todd Lakes is one of Bel Air’s standout neighborhoods, known for its impressive homes, generous lots, and long-established landscaping. It has a refined, settled feel, but it’s still close to town amenities and major commuting routes. Every home here carries its own architectural presence, often paired with manicured grounds and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces. The result is a quiet, elegant setting that has earned its place as Bel Air’s premier residential area.

 

Neighborhood & Home Character

In Todd Lakes, “grand” is not a stretch. All of the homes here push well beyond typical square footage.  Architecture often favors brick or brick-accented façades, balanced with quality siding or stone elements. Rooms are generous—formal entry halls, vaulted living spaces, separate dining rooms, multiple living areas, grand master suites, and finished walk-out basements.

Lot sizes in Todd Lakes elevate its status. Many properties sit on large parcels (1 acre to multiple-acre footprints) providing expansive front and rear yards, side buffers, and room to create sweeping driveways, gardens, or outdoor amenities. This scale is part of the appeal: neighbors feel present but not on top of each other.

The streets are wide and lined with mature trees and well-established landscaping. The overall feel is refined privacy: homes set back from the street, thoughtfully landscaped buffers, and internal roadways designed to minimize traffic exposure.

Historical & Development Context

Todd Lakes first appeared in the land records in 1980, when Eugene “Ute” Todd and his wife Billie began shaping what would become one of Harford County’s most distinctive neighborhoods. Their vision was simple but ambitious: create a community of custom homes on land with sweeping views of pasture and farmland that their family had cared for over generations. The Todds, along with their parents before them, farmed this property for many years, and much of the surrounding area is now preserved.

The six lakes that wind through the neighborhood support a wide variety of birds and fish and play an important role in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The homes themselves are truly one-of-a-kind. No two are alike, and you’ll find everything from mid-century modern to Georgian, Tudor, and Spanish-inspired architecture. Each home was built to a high standard, which is part of why the neighborhood has such a lasting sense of quality and character.

What Owners Often Observe

“Every time I pull into the driveway I’m reminded how different this feels: the space, the landscaping, the view. It’s a special address.” — Todd Lakes resident

• Prestige & curb impact: Front façades often make a deliberate impression—brick, columns, large windows—designed to welcome with authority.
• Generous land and scale: Large lots and generous home footprints give room for design freedom—gardens, patios, pools, outdoor living elements.
• Established trees & buffers: Landscape maturity supports both view and seclusion, reinforcing the premium atmosphere.
• Quiet, refined interior roads: Because many homes are well off main roads, the internal environment remains calm and serene.
