Projects

To enter the Ruxton-Riderwood-Lake Roland Area Community from any direction is to be struck by its quality of respite. Grand old estates and more modest households are situated on narrow winding roads. Here are tree-shaded suburbs, delightful for their rural roots and preserved history. A broad array of distinct neighborhoods, some old, some new, are the woven fabric of the community, which is served by several contained business “villages.” These mature neighborhoods work hard to safeguard the environmental and architectural treasures in their midst, and to resist the negative effects of overdevelopment. Designated a Community Conservation Area, they are an asset to Baltimore County
RRLR Goal
