Sparrows Point was once the home of a large Bethlehem Steel plant. The area has since been redeveloped into a bustling waterfront community anchored by the Tradepoint Atlantic marine, rail and land terminal. There is a sense of pride among the residents of Sparrows Point, with neighborhoods hosting festivals, block parties and many more community engaging events. Nearby on North Point Road, there are several restaurants, grocery stores, entertainment and retail options available. There are several marinas where residents can dock their boats. Waterfront restaurants and bars are plentiful. The area is also home to North Point State Park, a 1,300 acre park with scenic views and miles of trails that can excite any nature lover. While close to large natural features and the shores of the Back River, the home site is only 15 minutes from Baltimore City and there are major highways like I-695 nearby. According to the Baltimore County public school’s locator, the area schools include Edgemere Elementary, Sparrows Point Middle and Sparrows Point High.

Sparrows Point is a place of contrasts, where the echoes of the past mingle with the promise of the future. Whether you’re drawn to its industrial history, its natural beauty, or its vibrant community spirit, Sparrows Point offers something for everyone.
