Glenelg Homes for Sale

Nestled in the sprawling rural hills of Western Howard County, Glenelg, MD (pronounced Glen-el) is located less than 30 miles from Columbia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. Known for its breathtaking farmland and peaceful scenery, Glenelg has become a premiere destination for newly developed high-end and luxury homes.

Originally settled by the Dorsey family in 1735, the region was officially coined "Glenelg" in the mid 1800s by General Joseph Tyson and his wife. Named after an old Scottish estate, Glenelg's residents still proudly celebrate the unique spelling of their town's name, making it one of the few places in the country whose name is a perfect palindrome.

While many know Glenelg for its name, the area has plenty more hidden and not-so-hidden gems to offer both residents and visitors alike. Grab some upscale New American tapas at Bistro Blanc, one of Howard County's top-rated restaurants. Join the locals at Ten Oaks Tavern, a fantastic pub with a casual atmosphere and no shortage of spirit. In the mood for a good slice? Check out Mama Millies, a local favorite stop for top-notch pizza.

Of course, it's not just the food that draws people to Glenelg. Hikers and recreational sports fans will enjoy the lush surroundings of Western Regional Park's 190 acres, perfect for quiet walks and pickup sports outings alike.
