A Wooded Setting Near Edgewood’s Schools

Lord Willoughby’s Rest is located in ZIP code 21040 in Harford County. To enter the neighborhood, turn onto Broadneck Crossing Road from Willoughby Beach Road, next to the Edgewood High School. The community sits close to all three local public schools, with parks and waterfront recreation in the surrounding area. Its entrance connects residents to the rest of Edgewood, while the enclosed street layout keeps the neighborhood from serving as a shortcut between roads.

Colonial Homes and a Smaller Townhome Section

Built primarily between 2000 and 2004, Lord Willoughby’s Rest is an HOA community consisting mostly of single-family Colonial homes. These homes average approximately 1,750 square feet above grade, typically with three or four bedrooms and one- or two-car garages. Some also have finished basements that add roughly 400 to 800 square feet of additional living space.

Lot sizes average around 0.15 acres, which is slightly smaller than your average Harford County lot.

There is also a townhome section on Beaver Crossing Road, where homes are generally somewhat smaller than the detached properties. Mature trees and woods surround the neighborhood, giving the neighborhood a more private feel. With no through streets, traffic is primarily associated with residents, visitors, and deliveries. Individual homes differ in how much wooded screening they have.

What Buyers Should Know

Homes here are now more than 20 years old, so condition and maintenance history deserve attention. Some have updated kitchens, bathrooms, and flooring, while others may retain original finishes. An original roof could be approaching replacement age, depending on its materials, condition, and maintenance.
