County from the city of
Laurel in Prince George's
County. This area is home
to a thriving Main Street
historic district with shops,
antiques stores and
restaurants. Maple Lawn,
with its large areas of open
space integrated into the
community, also creates
the atmosphere of a small
town. It’s a place where you
can find a unique mix of
boutiques and high quality
restaurants. The result is
an enjoyable, practical way
of life, where families can
live, work, shop, dine and
spend quality time together.
SAVAGE
The community of Savage
revolved around a textile
mill for decades. Now mill
homes have been updated
and renovated, and the mill
has been transformed into
a market for antiques and
artisans. The residents of
Savage – young and old,
newcomers and established
homeowners – have worked
together to revive the area.
WESTERN
HOWARD
COUNTY
If you want to take a scenic
car ride on a sunny day,
drive west on Frederick

beautiful countryside of

You’ll drive by dairy farms,
cornfields, and stables
of horses – as well as
spectacular new homes that
command spacious lots.
Cooksville, Lisbon, West
Friendship, Glenelg and
Glenwood are just a few
villages that have evolved
in the farmland community.
