Fox Meadows Homes for Sale and Neighborhood Guide
If you’re exploring real estate options in northern Harford County, Fox Meadows in Jarrettsville deserves your attention. I’m Leigh Kaminsky, REALTOR® with BelAirRealtor.com, and over the years I’ve guided many clients through properties in Harford County. Below, you’ll find a detailed, on-the-ground look at Fox Meadows—its character, local context, lifestyle highlights, things to watch out for, and how I help buyers find their ideal homes.
What Is Fox Meadows? 
Fox Meadows is a residential enclave in Jarrettsville, MD, offering a quiet, semi-rural setting while still being connected by roads and services. Most lots in Fox Meadows are generous—half-acre or more in many cases—and many homes are placed to take advantage of mature foliage, privacy, and natural terrain. Because this is not a densely built subdivision, you’ll find variation in home styles, rooflines, and yard configuration. Some homes have already been remodeled, while others remain more “original,” offering opportunity for improvement or customization.
Local Setting, Roads & Access
Jarrettsville sits in the northern part of Harford County, and the area is served in part by Maryland Route 165, which passes through Jarrettsville and connects to other parts of the county. This means Fox Meadows residents can access local roads toward Fallston, Baldwin, and northward toward the Pennsylvania line. The more rural nature of the area means that while convenience is reasonable, residents often rely on personal vehicles for errands, commuting, and service access.
The greater Jarrettsville area is historically agricultural and wooded, and much of the residential expansion has been incremental—subdividing larger tracts over time. Fox Meadows fits into that pattern: a neighborhood born from the parcelization of land that once was farmland or forest. Because of that evolution, you’ll often see mature trees, slope variation, and natural contours preserved in yards. The result is a quieter, visually rich neighborhood feel rather than uniform streetscapes.
Why Many Buyers Favor Fox Meadows
From tours and conversations, the following features often stand out to prospective owners:
- Quiet & privacy: Being off main corridors, many homes are tucked back behind trees or buffers, helping reduce noise and increase seclusion.
- Lot size & flexibility: The generous lots allow for outdoor amenities—gardens, decks, patios—or even future add-ons without feeling cramped.
- Value growth potential: Because some homes are “older but solid,” buyers often see opportunities to update kitchens, baths, and finishes while benefiting from land appreciation.
- Strong resale basis: As northern Harford continues to see demand for less densely settled areas, neighborhoods like Fox Meadows are well-positioned for long-term appeal.
- Balance between rural and accessible: You don’t feel “out in the sticks,” but you get a sense of breathing space and natural surroundings.
A resident once told me: “We chose Fox Meadows because you’d never guess how peaceful it is—yet we’re still minutes from everything we need.”
Schools & Education
Fox Meadows is served by Harford County Public Schools (HCPS), the public school system for all of Harford County. HCPS educates students from pre-K through grade 12 and includes many schools, specialty programs, and magnet options. As of recent data, HCPS is among Maryland’s larger districts and emphasises broad access, academic pathways, and community partnerships.

Is Fox Meadows Right for You?
Fox Meadows appeals most to buyers who value space, natural setting, and the ability to incrementally add value. It’s especially good for those who are comfortable owning land, updating an older home, or planning gradual improvements. If your priority is brand-new construction, zero maintenance, or ultra-suburban consistency, you might prefer a newer subdivision. That said, Fox Meadows delivers distinctive character, privacy, and residential opportunity in a part of Harford County that’s increasingly desirable.
