Woodlawn

Located just outside the city in western Baltimore County, Woodlawn is a vibrant community best known for its governmental associations. Bordered on the west by the popular neighborhood of Catonsville, and convenient to the major metropolitan areas of Baltimore and Washington, DC, Woodlawn is a wonderful alternative to the pricier homes in the surrounding areas. Like Catonsville, most homes in Woodlawn are single families, ranging from Victorian beauties to charming cape cods and rangers. For those looking for the convenience of a planned community, condominiums and townhouses are available.

Woodlawn is home to the Social Security Administration and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, providing stable employment to many residents in the area. Although Woodlawn is so deeply associated with the government organizations that it has the nickname, Security, it also has a beautiful historic neighbor that is one of the area's best kept secrets. The small neighboring town known as Dickeyville is a former mill village located along the Gwynn's Falls. Purchased and rehabilitated in 1934, developers took special care in preserving the town's distinctive character and the 1940's era homes were designed to be indistinguishable from the original, late-Victorian style workmen's homes.
