Maryland City, MD

Maryland City is a census-designated place in western Anne Arundel County, near Laurel and Fort Meade. It was developed by the Maryland City Corp. under developer Harvey Kayne, so it has more of a planned suburban origin than an old-town one. The community sits close to major job centers, commuter routes, and the Baltimore-Washington corridor. Local identity is practical: neighborhoods, schools, volunteer fire service, shopping nearby, and quick access to both Anne Arundel and Prince George's County destinations.
