Neighborhoods in Crofton Maryland located outside the Crofton Gates - Charing Cross Townhomes.  

Charing Cross is a community of 122 spacious Crofton townhomes built from 1979 through the mid-80's in two phases by different builders.  The community is located on the north side of Rt. 424, just east of Rt. 3.  It is not inside the "Crofton Triangle" or the special taxing district, but it is located within the Crofton zipcode (21114) and residents do attend Crofton public schools.

The first section, as you drive into the community from Rt. 424 (left), was a pet project of John Moderno, a builder of upscale detached homes in nearby Gambrills prior to building Charing Cross.  The fronts of these traditional-style homes were brick, and the floor plans featured large rooms on every level.  Many special features were available for upgrading the new townhomes.

The style of homes in the next section (right) was quite different but still very nice. These, too, have brick exteriors, but the architectural details are less colonial.  Standard features on every home included a finished basement with fourth bedroom and a corner fireplace in the family room, plus a balcony on the main level.

While Charing Cross residents have access to all the pools, golf courses, parks and other amenities located throughout the Crofton area, community tennis courts are located within the community between the original and second section.  (Left)

There's not much turnover in Charing Cross, and no homes on are the market there now.  There have only been three sales in the community since January 1, 2009 and, during the same period last year, there were no sales.  Two of the properties sold recently in Charing Cross were in the second section (around $330,000) and the other was an Estate Sale, priced accordingly, in the original section.

Crofton Real Estate - Tee it up!

My dad always said that a golf course is the best place to raise children, and I have to echo his sentiment.   A child who runs home from school to get his golf clubs and practice is not hanging out in an alley experimenting with drugs.  An adolescent or teen who plays 18 or 36 holes...
