It’s fairly quiet but close enough to most gas stations, convenience stores, and/or spots for food! It’s centrally located near Columbia, Hanover, Catonsville, Ellicott City, and Baltimore City.
Howard County is full of diversity! Lots of chances to meet new places and try foods from around the world. The county invests a lot of money into its schools and public libraries. The Elkridge Library is beautiful and has so much to offer for children, young adults, and a 55+ center!
The Elkridge Fire Station hosts Food Truck Fridays during the summertime, and Cindy’s ice cream is close by.

I absolutely love the city of Elkridge. It is absolutely beautiful, and while you're there, it would be an amazing time to drive around and go to many places to take wonderful pictures in the city to keep as memories to look back on. I love that there are so many places nearby that doesn't take long to drive to. I could also walk to some of those places. When it comes to the food, homes, stores, restaurants, and many more things in Elkridge, it can be considered a "perfect place" for people who are visiting Maryland. Another thing is, the city, and the state of Maryland in general, is pretty diverse, especially in central Maryland, I would definitely recommend hitting Elkridge for a visit, even if it's just for a few hours. The people there are quite nice, there are excellent services, for food, traveling, or directions to places you want to go to. The schools are excellent in Maryland, and it's considered one of the most educated states in the United States of America.
I would like Elkridge to be a little bit more diverse. There are a lot of racist white people in this city, and I would like for that to change. I remember one day, there was a petition to stop black people from moving into howard county, because black people "bring down the economy", and "worsen the school system". I live in a predominantly white neighborhood, where the houses cost $700,000+. In this neighborhood (as a black man), I get a lot of stares, mean mugging, and no wave-backs. I have lived in Elkridge all my life, I just wish the people were more accepting.
