CROFTON COMMONS in Crofton MD is ideally located for anyone working on post at Fort Meade or anywhere in the D.C.-Baltimore area... and it's only about a half hour to either the D.C. or Baltimore beltways.
CROFTON COMMONS is a community of about 90 homes built in the '70's. Like other townhomes in the area at the time, they originally sold around $60,000. All of the homes have a basement, as far as I know, and most are 3 bedroom homes with about 1400 sq. ft. There are also a number of 4-bedroom end units with nearly 1650 square feet - equal to or larger than many detached homes in nearby Crofton Meadows and Four Seasons Estates.
Location, location, location "rules", when it comes to choosing a home in CROFTON COMMONS because it is located within the "Crofton Triangle" and Crofton Special Taxing District. The "Crofton Triangle" is bounded by Rt. 3 on the West, Rt. 424 on the north, and Rt. 450 on the south, with Routes 424 and 450 intersecting at (more or less) the eastern point of the triangle. Most homes within this area, including those in CROFTON COMMONS, are part of the Crofton Special Taxing District which has its own community police force and maintenance services to keep the public areas of the community looking beautiful.
Community amenites for anyone living in the Crofton Triangle include two nearby parks, public tennis courts, and two membership opportunities for a nearby pool (Crofton Country Club and Crofton Swim & Tennis). It's a very active community, with annual traditions that include a Halloween Parade, Armed Forces Day Parade, Spring and Fall Crafts Fairs, and Santa's arrival on a firetruck for a community party at Crofton Country Club. There are scout troops, senior groups, garden clubs, and every kind of organization you could want to join. And Crofton Country Club golf course runs through the heart of the triangle, within walking distance of CROFTON COMMONS.

Margaret,
It's inevitable that we start tripping over each other for communities with these hyper local posts. Your Copyscape may pick up some similarities with this post from last week.

'Just followed your link to check out your post and I like your map. Yep, same community so same stats. This probably won't be the last time we highlight the same community, since we work in the same office and live within blocks of each other, but it's good for consumers to have access to as much information as they can find... and we have different writing styles, different perspectives.
