A wooded community next door to major cities.

Family-Friendly Peaceful Wooded

Tucked into the wooded hills of Anne Arundel County, Millersville sits in a sweet spot between two major metros — just 17 miles south of Baltimore and about 25 miles northeast of Washington, D.C. The area has a distinctly laid-back, suburban feel with mature trees lining the streets and green space around nearly every corner. Kinder Farm Park, a sprawling 288-acre preserve, draws locals year-round with its hiking trails, open fields, and working farmhouse museum that nods to the area's agricultural roots. Anne Arundel Community College anchors the community with a steady academic presence, and the Chesapeake Bay is close enough that weekend boating and fishing trips are genuinely part of life here.

Renters in Millersville will find a mix of townhome communities, garden-style apartments, and spacious single-family rentals, all set against a backdrop of trees and quiet residential streets. Shopping, dining, and everyday errands are easy to handle locally, and I-97 keeps commuters well connected. The Maryland Renaissance Festival, held annually in nearby Crownsville, draws thousands of visitors each fall and has become one of the region's most beloved traditions.
