Spenceola Farms Homes for Sale and Community Highlights

Welcome to Spenceola Farms, a thoughtfully planned well maintained community in Forest Hill, Maryland in the 21050 zip code. I’m Leigh Kaminsky, a local Harford County Realtor, and I’ve toured this neighborhood many times with home buyers. If you’re considering a move to Spenceola Farms, or simply exploring your options, this page is meant to give you a quick overview of this neighborhood.

Spenceola Farms was built in the late 1990s through the early 2000s, with construction largely completed around 2001. Its mix of single-family, villas, townhomes and condos make 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 started a bean and tomato canning enterprise in this part of Harford County. This business 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/services that include a community clubhouse, swimming pool and lawn services. 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.

After being in their home for a year, one of my clients described it perfectly: “This was the perfect house for us. We work from home so the large loft area make the perfect office space. We also love that they take care of the lawn. The community feels well care for overall.”
