Abingdon, Maryland Community Information
With a population of 31,000, Abingdon is a medium-sized community, but with a wonderful small-town feel.

Abingdon is located 25 miles northeast of Baltimore, via Interstate 95. Not only is it ideal for commuters, but it also makes road trips along the Eastern Seaboard more accessible as well. For longer trips, Baltimore Washington International Airport (BWI) is only 35 miles away as well.
Schools in Abingdon are under the jurisdiction of the Harford County Board of Education. Younger children attend William S. James Elementary School, or Abingdon Elementary School. Older students attend Edgewood High School in nearby Edgewood, a highly-rated school which features excellent SAT scores and statewide test results.
Abingdon Real Estate
Abingdon is a popular location for those looking for a quiet, suburban feel, within commuting distance of Baltimore. It also features slightly more affordable real estate than surrounding cities, while home values remain similar to the state average.
Most of the real estate in Abingdon was built in the 1970s or later, and most homes for sale are single-family units with three to four bedrooms, and large yards perfect for families. Detached homes feature colonial styling, with stone, brick or siding, and two floors with an underground basement. Older homes feature modern upgrades, including kitchens with self-closing cabinets, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.
Single-family row houses are also prevalent in neighborhoods between Emmorton Road and Saint Mary’s Church Road. These homes generally feature 3-4 bedrooms spread over 3 floors of living space, perfect for young professionals, growing families, or those looking to downsize. The smaller, fenced backyards and decks still allow for outdoor space and entertaining, with much less maintenance. Smaller apartments and condos can be found in the constant Friendship and Norris Corner areas in the center of Abingdon. Many units feature full upgrades, or are priced to renovate to your needs.
