Pleasant Hills, MD

Pleasant Hills is a small, quiet community in southwestern Harford County, sitting right along the scenic border of Little Gunpowder Falls. Home to around 4,000 people, the area has a relaxed, semi-rural feel with generous lot sizes and mature trees. If you are browsing home listings, keep in mind that local properties often use Fallston or Kingsville mailing addresses because Pleasant Hills does not have its own post office.

It offers a comfortable balance of peaceful residential living and quick access to major travel routes across the region.
