 Linganore Fever!
Nature's Paradise is the best way to describe Lake Linganore. This wonderful community situated on over 3,700 acres, and centered around 210 acre Lake Linganore, is considered to be Maryland's largest private lake. Originally designed by the Brosius Brothers, J. William Brosius and Louie Brosius in the 1960's, the original concept was to create a recreation and retirement community. In the late 70's however, due to an economic downturn, development came to a standstill.
Now however, this community is thriving. Long time residents call it "Linganore Fever". People are coming from congested urban areas and with just one glimpse at the lake, wildlife and rolling hills, many people know they just can't live anywhere else.
This mostly cedar home community was planned to blend in with its natural surroundings. Home styles are all different, no two houses looking exactly alike. Styles range from contemporary to traditional and include homes by Lindel, Topsider, Frank Lloyd Wright inspired homes located in Woodridge, Questar Homes, Craftstar & Craftmark homes and many others.

 The Future of Linganore
What's in the future for Linganore? Within the next few years residents will begin to see the community nearing completion. New roads, which will remain private and are being subsidized through a CDA, will begin to be installed within the next year along with new water and sewer lines. Lake Linganore also has a new developer, Land Stewards, who is proposing to build a bridge that will link 144 to Eaglehead Drive. This bridge will create a shortcut for residents to gain easier access to shopping and commuter routes. |
