Susquehanna River Hills Homes for Sale – Havre de Grace, MD

Welcome to Susquehanna River Hills, a rural neighborhood in Havre de Grace, Maryland. This somewhat rural community features older single-family homes on generously sized lots, with convenient access to Interstate 95. I’ve put this page together to help home buyers understand the neighborhood, its homes, and the surrounding area. At the end, you’ll find a list of current Susquehanna River Hills homes for sale.

A Rural Setting Close to Interstate 95

Susquehanna River Hills is located in Havre de Grace, Harford County, Maryland, within the 21078 ZIP code. The neighborhood is accessed from Lapidum Road, just off Route 155 (Level Road), near the Interstate 95 on ramp.

One of the neighborhood’s advantages is its location. Residents can quickly reach I-95 for travel toward Baltimore or Delaware. Downtown Havre de Grace, with its restaurants, shopping, and waterfront attractions, is also just a few minutes away. Despite this accessibility, much of the neighborhood has a rural appearance, with mature trees, open fields, and larger residential properties.

Homes and Neighborhood Character

Susquehanna River Hills consists primarily of single-family homes built during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. You’ll find a variety of traditional architectural styles, including ranchers, Cape Cods, split-levels, and colonials. The homes are generally modest in size, averaging approximately 1,700 square feet of above-grade living space, with most offering three or four bedrooms.

Some properties have finished basements that provide additional living space beyond the main levels. Because these homes were built over several decades, floor plans, exterior appearances, and interior finishes vary throughout the community.

One of the more appealing features of Susquehanna River Hills is the lot sizes. Most properties have more than half an acre, providing room more room between neighbors. Mature trees and landscaping add to the neighborhood’s rural character.

There are no sidewalks or homeowners association (HOA) in Susquehanna River Hills. With a Walk Score of just 4, the neighborhood is considered car-dependent, so residents will generally need to drive for shopping, dining, and everyday errands.

The surroundings also vary depending on where you live. Properties along Lapidum Road benefit from nearby wooded areas and open fields. Leslie Road sits closer to Interstate 95 and its interchange, although trees provide some separation between the neighborhood and the highway.

What Buyers Should Know

When considering a home in Susquehanna River Hills, I recommend paying particular attention to its condition and location within the neighborhood.

With homes dating back several decades, buyers will encounter different levels of maintenance and updating. Some properties have undergone extensive renovations, while others may retain original features or require improvements. The age and condition of major systems, including roofing, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical components, are worth evaluating.

Proximity to I-95 is another consideration. Homes closer to the interchange, particularly along Leslie Road, may experience traffic noise. Although trees provide a visual buffer, the highway may become more visible during winter when the leaves have fallen.

For buyers who prefer larger lots, established neighborhoods, and fewer community restrictions, Susquehanna River Hills offers an alternative to many newer developments.
