Discover Spenceola Farms

Welcome to Spenceola Farms, a thoughtfully planned community in Forest Hill, Maryland that blends suburban convenience, green space, and a touch of historic character. I’m Leigh Kaminsky of BelAirRealtor.com, and I specialize in representing buyers and sellers in Harford County. If you’re considering relocating to Spenceola Farms—or simply exploring your options—I want to guide you through everything you need to know about this neighborhood before you even step foot in one of the homes.

Spenceola Farms is a well-established neighborhood built in the late 1990s through the early 2000s, with construction largely completed around 2001. Its mix of single-family and attached homes makes it a versatile option for many buyers. The homes here are midsize, comfortable, and often more affordably priced than in some of the more premium subdivisions in nearby areas.

History & Character

The name “Spenceola Farms” carries more legacy than you might expect. In the early 1900s, local entrepreneur Cecil Clyde Spencer launched a bean and tomato canning enterprise in this part of Harford County—a business that eventually became known as “Spenceola Farms.” The Spencer family was active in both business and civic life, and their name continues to be recognized locally. Over time, as agricultural operations declined, this land transitioned into the residential neighborhood now bearing its name, blending history with modern suburban living.

Community & Amenities

Spenceola Farms is part of the Spenceola Farms Community Association, offering shared amenities that include a community clubhouse and swimming pool. The clubhouse, located on Cherry Tree Square, is a hub for neighborhood gatherings, private events, and association meetings. The pool and community areas are well maintained, giving residents convenient spaces for relaxation and connection.

Green lawns, mature trees, internal sidewalks, and thoughtfully designed layouts give Spenceola Farms a comfortable and welcoming feel. Its location also offers easy access to commuter routes, shopping, dining, and recreational destinations throughout Forest Hill and nearby Bel Air.

What Makes Spenceola Farms Desirable?

• Value and Quality: Homes here often provide more space and upgrades compared to similarly priced communities.
• Community Amenities: The pool and clubhouse offer organized spaces for residents to enjoy without excessive HOA restrictions.
