A Secluded Setting in Forest Hill 
Located in the 21050 zip code in Harford County, Bynum Woods is tucked away on Melrose Lane which is off ofBynum Road. The community sits next to Blakes Venture Park and the Ma & Pa Heritage Trail, providing convenient access to walking trails and outdoor recreation.
Despite being close to Route 23 and Route 24, the neighborhood feels somewhat removed from the surrounding commercial areas. As you travel down Melrose Place, mature trees and wooded surroundings create a quiet, tucked-away atmosphere. Shopping, restaurants, and everyday services are just a short drive away in Forest Hill and nearby Bel Air.
About Bynum Woods Homes
Bynum Woods is a townhome community with two sections built approximately three decades apart. The older portion, located toward the front of the neighborhood, was developed during the 1960s. The newer section, toward the back of the community, was constructed primarily during the 1990s.
The original townhomes are generally smaller, with typical layouts offering approximately 832 square feet of living space and two bedrooms. These homes have relatively simple floor plans and can be appealing to buyers looking for a more manageable amount of living space.
The newer townhomes typically offer around 1,100 square feet of above-grade living space. Many also have finished lower levels that can provide approximately 500 additional square feet. These finished basements offer flexibility for a family room, home office, exercise area, or other uses, depending on the layout.
One of the things that stands out about Bynum Woods is the surrounding greenery. Mature trees border portions of the community, and the wooded landscape creates a more secluded appearance than you might expect from a townhome neighborhood.
What Buyers Should Know About Bynum Woods
Because the townhomes were constructed in different decades, buyers will find a range of interior finishes, updates, and overall conditions. Some properties have been renovated, while others may need improvements to kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, or major systems. It’s worth looking beyond the finishes to evaluate the overall condition of each home.
Another consideration is nearby Route 23, which runs behind the neighborhood. Although mature trees provide some separation, traffic noise may be more noticeable toward the rear of the community, particularly during winter when the trees have lost their leaves.
