What Kind of Home Can I Buy in Catonsville for Under $300,000?  I get asked this question a lot.  When you know what's most important to you, finding a home in Catonsville that fits your budget doesn't have to be a challenge.

The answer to this question begins with whether you are looking for a home in Catonsville that is a Single Family Home, a Townhome, or a Condominium.  Keep in mind when you are searching, that although I provide neighborhood names here, not every home in Catonsville is in a named subdivision.  If you are searching online for a Catonsville home, the best way to search is by zip code: 21228 and 21229.

Catonsville Single Family Home

If you are looking for a Catonsville Single Family Home under $300,000, the neighborhoods where you will have the most success are

  • Meridale Little Farms
  • Westview Park
  • Catonsville Heights
  • Catonsville Manor
  • Woodbridge Valley
  • Edmondson Ridge
  • Colonial Gardens. 

The home you are likely to find will be an older home on a smaller lot, but if you are lucky, you can find one that has been renovated and/or updated with a newer kitchen and bathrooms and features off street parking.  Keep in mind that these homes will be ‘starter homes', with 2 or 3 bedrooms, and 1 or 2 bathrooms.

Catonsville Townhome

If you are looking for a Catonsville Townhome under $300,000, you are going to find that they are most likely to be the ‘rowhome' style, built in the 1930's up until the 1990's, and will generally have 3 Bedrooms and 1 Bathroom.  The nicer units will have 2 Bedrooms, a finished basement, and will probably not have a garage, although you might get lucky, as there are a few communities that have garage townhomes in Catonsville.  The neighborhoods to look in include:

  • Academy Heights
  • near Prospect Avenue
  • Medwick Garth
  • Westowne
  • Eastshire.

And if you are looking for a Catonsville Condominium under $300,000, those units are very rare.  They will probably have 2 Bedrooms and 1 or 2 Bathrooms, and will be located in:

  • Westchester
  • Catonsville Mews
  • Kenwood Gardens
  • Catonsville Gateway.

You're properties are so much high priced than our local market. $40K, $50 K with way less zeros in them. I always have seen the higher the price, the thinner the buyers. That way in your market?

Andrew, in our market we get a lot of relocations and military buyers because of our proximity to Washington DC.  That's helped prices here remain somewhat stable.  Here in Baltimore and Howard County, a $300,000 home is considered on the more affordable end of the scale.  Even so, we do find that the lower the price, the larger the buyer pool.  I guess that fact remains true for any market.  Thanks for reading!
