A Country Town
Lying halfway between White Hall MD Luxury Homes to the north and Sparks MD Real Estate to the south, the small community of Monkton is right in the heart of northern Baltimore County’s hunt country. East of Interstate 83 and a stone’s throw away from Gunpowder Falls State Park, Monkton combines rural seclusion with accessibility. When you walk the quiet, wooded country lanes that cross Monkton, MD real estate, you’ll be hard put to imagine that the busy interstate is just nearby and that the city of Baltimore is only around half an hour away.
An unincorporated community – inasmuch as Baltimore County doesn’t have any incorporated municipalities – Monkton has no official boundaries; though the area encompassed by its zip code, 21111, measures roughly 35 square miles. According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2000 Census, Monkton has a population of 5118. Its estimated 2005 population is 5,208. The size of the area and the low population level gives a population density figure of less than 150 people per square mile. In other words, there’s a whole lot of space in Monkton.
It’s not unusual to find Monkton, MD real estate measuring two or more acres. What’s more, since the town is predominantly rural, the land is almost always comprised of rolling green hills dotted with lofty stands of oaks, hemlock and hickory. In addition, the trout-rich Gunpowder River is close at hand, opening up a wide vista of possibilities for recreation.
