About Harford Square
Harford Square is a residential community nestled in Edgewood, Maryland, within Harford County. Its housing stock tends toward mid-sized townhomes and single-family homes, many built in the 1970s through the 1990s, that appeal to people seeking solid value in a suburban-proximate location.
Though not a brand-new development, Harford Square boasts mature landscaping, established road networks, and proximity to commuter access points like I-95, U.S. 40, and MD-24 (which connects toward Bel Air and the northern parts of the county).
History & Local Character
While Harford Square doesn’t have a dramatic founding story, its development was part of the broader mid- to late-20th-century suburban expansion of Harford County, serving those who worked in Baltimore or at Aberdeen Proving Ground but preferred more affordable housing just outside the city core. Over time, the neighborhood matured, and community associations—such as the First Harford Square Association—help coordinate communication and upkeep.
Because many homes in Harford Square were built several decades ago, you’ll see a mix of architectural styles, lot sizes, and interior renovations. Some homes have been upgraded with modern kitchens, baths, and systems; others may allow a buyer to put their personal touch on finishes.
Schools & Education Options
Harford Square lies within Harford County Public Schools. Nearby public schools often associated with this area include; Magnolia Elementary School (K–5), Magnolia Middle School (6–8), and Joppatowne High School (9–12). In addition, Edgewood High School is a public high school in the area.
Important note: School boundaries and feeder patterns can change over time. If the schools are a key factor in your decision, I always recommend verifying the latest boundary maps with Harford County Public Schools or the individual schools themselves before finalizing a purchase.
