College Hills III in Catonsville, Maryland 21228 - Quiet, Convenient, Comfortable

People who have discovered the College Hills developments in Catonsville, MD, talk about the quiet, convenient, and comfortable neighborhoods they love. There are four sections on 130 acres and just over 250 homes total in College Hills that have been built beginning in the late 1980's. The first two sections were single-family homes, and the third and fourth are townhomes and cluster homes. Neighborhoods have small, winding cul-de-sacs with a lot of privacy and very little traffic from nearby Catonsville's busy streets.

There definitely are hills in College Hills, and the stream, valleys and rocky terrain gave the designers some interesting challenges. One of the great attractions of this area is that it is close to Patapsco Valley State Park, and some of the homes actually back up to park land.

That's the case in Section III of College Hills where 5 Wake Forest Court is located. This group of 45 townhomes is special for many reasons; owners appreciate that the College Hills III HOA takes care of the roof(cedar shakes & shingles) the cleaning and replacement of gutters and downspouts, the siding, and all exterior maintenance including the steps and driveway repair, as well as all landscaping including cutting and fertilization. Just think of living with no outside maintenance. So it really is possible to leave the big home worry and enjoy living in a luxury home with beautiful views, your own private deck, and a garage to house and protect your special automobile.

And yes, there is a college – in fact, there are two. College Hills is walking distance to the campus of the Community College of Baltimore County, but the campus of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County is also just minutes away.
