Bel Air, MD Homes & Real Estate

Bel Air is the county seat of Harford County, Maryland, northeast of Baltimore. The town has a historic Main Street with the courthouse, older brick buildings and small businesses, and the area around it is made up of residential neighborhoods, shopping centers and offices.

Several roads meet here. US-1 and Route 24 run through the area, Route 22 heads east toward Aberdeen, and Route 543 and Route 152 reach out toward the rest of the county. I-95 is a drive away to the south and east, which connects commuters to Baltimore, Aberdeen Proving Ground and the Delaware and Philadelphia direction.

There is a lot nearby. Rockfield Park and the Ma and Pa Heritage Trail give walkers and cyclists room to get outdoors, and Annie’s Playground is a local park. Shopping centers and a mall are along Route 1 and Route 24, and the University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Medical Center is in Bel Air. Harford Community College is on the edge of town, and the Susquehanna River and Chesapeake Bay shoreline are a short drive.

Housing is varied, with older homes close to Main Street, single-family neighborhoods built over many decades, townhome and condominium communities, and larger lots on the outskirts. Property taxes differ between the town and the county, so we confirm them for each address.

If you work in Baltimore, Aberdeen or elsewhere in Harford County, test the drive at rush hour before you decide.
