Old Trails Homes for Sale and Neighborhood Guide
Welcome to Old Trails (also known as River Run) in Joppa, MD. If you are over 55 and exploring waterfront living in Joppa, the Old Trails neighborhood stands out as a nice option. This community offers newer construction, water views, and a thoughtfully designed layout that blends privacy, scenery, and convenience.
Old Trails appeals to home buyers who value low-maintenance living, modern design, and direct access to natural surroundings while still being close to major roads, shopping, and everyday services.
About the Homes and Community 
Old Trails is located on Old Trail Way in the 21085 zip code. Old Trails is a 55+ waterfront community built in 2022 featuring both townhomes and villa-style homes. All residences include private 2 car garages and modern construction standards, making this one of the newer residential options in the Joppa area.
The townhomes are three levels and typically offer four bedrooms including main level primary, open-concept main living areas, and finished basements with walk-out access. Many homes include decks on two levels, creating multiple outdoor spaces that overlook the Gunpowder River and surrounding landscape.
The villa-style homes offer single-level living with attached garages and open floor plans designed for everyday comfort and ease of movement. Like the townhomes, villas are positioned to take advantage of the natural setting and are built with the same contemporary finishes and energy-efficient systems.
Sidewalks run throughout the community, connecting each section of the neighborhood. The community also has a community center. Old Trails is surrounded by mature trees and waterways, giving it a setting that feels removed from commercial development while still remaining close to Route 40 and I-95.
A resident recently shared this with me during a visit:
“We were looking for a newer home with water views to retire in. Old Trails checked all of our boxes and was at the right price.”
