City - Essex

Essex, Maryland, sits on a peninsula tucked between the Back River and Middle River, roughly 11 miles east of Baltimore — close enough to the city to commute easily, distinct enough to feel like its own place. Originally platted in 1909 by the Taylor Land Company for Baltimoreans looking for breathing room outside the city, Essex grew steadily through the mid-20th century, fueled in part by the Glenn L. Martin Company's aerospace operations nearby. That industrial and working-waterfront heritage still shapes the area's grounded, no-frills character today.

The housing stock here leans practical and accessible, with a solid mix of apartment communities, townhomes, and garden-style rentals spread across a compact 10-square-mile footprint. Renters who want more space for their dollar will find Essex competitive compared to Baltimore proper. The community sits within Baltimore County, giving residents access to county services and schools without city boundaries.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
