A Quiet Fallston Location

Homes and Living in Laurel Brook
Laurel Brook is a non-HOA neighborhood made up of single-family homes. Most of the homes were built during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, giving the community a mix of architectural styles rather than the uniform appearance found in many newer developments. Colonials and ranchers are common, with homes ranging in size from approximately two to five bedrooms.
One of the characteristics I like about Laurel Brook is the amount of land that comes with many of the homes. Lots generally average around one to two acres, providing homeowners with considerably more outdoor space than you find in newer subdivisions. Mature trees and landscaping are common throughout the neighborhood, and the surrounding woods and fields contribute to its more private setting.
The neighborhood itself is arranged in a loop rather than around through streets. There are no sidewalks, so Laurel Brook feels more like a traditional semi-rural Fallston neighborhood than a planned suburban development. The absence of through traffic also helps maintain the residential character of Lawson Road and Oaklyn Drive.
Since there is no homeowners association, homeowners do not have an HOA fee or the additional community rules that typically come with an association. For buyers looking for a single-family home with land and a little more independence over their property, that can be an attractive part of living here.
What Buyers Should Know
The age of Laurel Brook homes is something buyers should take into consideration. Some properties have been extensively renovated over the years, while others may still have older kitchens, bathrooms, windows, flooring, or major mechanical systems.
An older home is not necessarily a disadvantage, especially when it comes with a larger lot and an established setting. However, I recommend looking closely at the age and condition of the roof, HVAC system, windows, plumbing, electrical components, and other major items when comparing homes.
