Description

Relax- You live in Monkton! In Monkton, it's not just about what is there: diverse housing, lush fields, wooded hiking trails, convenient shopping and perennial top-ranked schools. It's about what is not. The absence of dense development, crime and noise is striking, residents and real estate agents say. Much of the land in the rural, northern Maryland community has been preserved as open space or has been designated for agriculture by zoning designations. When people buy homes in Monkton, they like knowing that the view from their bedroom or kitchen window won't be blocked by another house in a few years. Monkton also has a historic district that includes the former Monkton Hotel, which houses several local businesses, and the Monkton Hall, home to a local art gallery and craft shop, near the old Northern Central Railroad Trail and station. Monkton is also home to Roseda Beef, a local cattle farm known for its gourmet meats. Monkton is the center of Maryland's horse country. The Elkridge-Harford Hunt and the Blessing of the Hunt at St. James Church on Thanksgiving are important events for residents and the equestrian community. Maryland steeplechasing season runs from March through September. Polo matches are played on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons on the grounds of the Maryland Polo Club. Gunpowder Falls State Park offers tubing, hiking, fishing and horseback riding. The Northern Central Railroad Trail runs through Monkton like a wooded Main Street, offering neighbors a place to catch up, walk dogs and teach children to ride bicycles. Come take a look at what you might be missing!
