Situated on a scenic point that stretches into Old Road Bay and the Patapsco River, Sparrows Point is the more industrial neighbor to Edgemere and Dundalk. Once the home of a thriving steel industry, today Sparrows Point provides incredible views of the river and the bay as well as convenient access to Interstate 695. Residential offerings can be found closer to the neighboring communities, but development is swiftly coming to Sparrows Point.
Community parks and yacht clubs can be found along Jones Creek, and a few restaurant offerings along Sparrows Point Road. Downtown Baltimore is just a 30-minute drive away, meaning the amenities of the city are well within reach.
