About the Neighborhood and Homes
Chapel Gate is a smaller townhome community that was built in the early 1990s. Because of its age, you will see a range of updates depending on the home. Some properties have been renovated with newer kitchens, flooring, and systems, while others may still have more original features. This gives buyers flexibility depending on whether they want something move in ready or are open to doing updates over time.
Most of the homes in Chapel Gate are around 1,800 square feet and offer three bedrooms. The layouts are functional and tend to provide a good balance of living space and bedroom size, which works well for a variety of buyers.
The setting is one of the stronger features of the neighborhood. It is surrounded by trees, and many of the homes back to wooded areas. That added buffer can make a difference in terms of privacy compared to other townhome communities where homes back directly to one another.
Parking in Chapel Gate is generally ample, which is something that often comes up when buyers are comparing different townhome neighborhoods. Another thing to be aware of is that most homes have steps leading up to the main entrance. This is typical for homes built in this time period, but it is something to consider depending on your preferences.
The neighborhood has a walk score of 63, which is higher than many nearby communities. This reflects the ability to walk to places like Riverside Plaza, although you will still likely use a car for many daily activities.

Students living in Gilmer Woods attend Harford County Schools. They typically attend William Paca or Old Post Road Elementary School, Edgewood Middle School, and Edgewood High School.
