Tucked Away Near Downtown

Gracecroft is located in Havre de Grace, in Harford County’s 21078 ZIP code. The community sits along Gracecroft Drive, off Chapel Road, close to Route 40. Downtown Havre de Grace is approximately one mile away, putting local dining, shops, and waterfront destinations within a short drive.

For everyday travel, nearby Route 40 connects you with businesses and services throughout Havre de Grace and toward Aberdeen. The neighborhood’s location is appealing if you want access to town while living on a residential street without through traffic.

Townhomes in a Wooded Setting

Gracecroft is a small community of townhomes built in the late 1990s and early 2000s. A typical home offers approximately 1,375 square feet above grade, with two or three bedrooms.

Many properties have finished basements, which can add up to approximately 700 square feet of additional living space. Depending on the individual home, that lower level may provide and extra bedroom and/or bathroom.

The surrounding trees and woods contribute to Gracecroft’s somewhat secluded character. With no through street, the community’s layout also limits traffic passing through to other destinations. Its reported Walk Score of 26 suggests that most errands require a car, despite the relatively short distance to downtown.

What Buyers Should Know

Because Gracecroft’s homes are now more than two decades old, you can expect differences in updates and overall condition. Some properties will have renovated kitchens, newer flooring, or replaced mechanical systems, while others may retain more original features and require refreshing.
