Emerson near Columbia (and Laurel) Maryland
Emerson homes are a mix of single-family homes, townhouses and multi-family
dwellings. The community is divided into a series of "enclaves", including
Walden Glen, Bowhill, Amberside, Bradwell, and Haddon Hall. The builders
involved in creating Emerson are Allan Homes, Columbia Builders, Ryan
Homes, Douglas Homes, Goodier Builders, Nu-Homes, Patriot Homes and Williamsburg
Group. Not surprisingly, the large number of builders means a reasonably
wide variety of home styles to choose from. Buying A Home? Let REALTORS™ Compete For Your Business!

Emerson is a new 570 acre planned community with over 200 acres set aside
as "permanent open space". The community straddles I-95 and
is bounded on the north by Gorman Road and on the south by Scaggsville
Road (Route 216). Access to I-95 has been recently improved with the
addition of a new entrance to the community off Route 216 via an extension
of Stephens Road. 
Emerson's location at the southern edge of Howard County makes it only
natural to think of it as a suburb (or unofficial "pseudo-village") of
Columbia. Despite it's even closer proximity to Laurel, you won't find
too many mentions of that town in the community's literature (much better
from a real estate sales perspective to think of it as Howard County
and near Columbia). Regardless, the location benefits from its nearness
to both cities, I-95, and other major north/south roads for easy access
to Baltimore and Washington, DC.
Recreational
opportunities on the grounds of Emerson include a new community center
with large swimming pool and a series of "pocket parks" and tot lots
distributed around the community's extensive open areas. There's a wide
variety of shopping and eating options within a short drive of Emerson,
including the Mall in Columbia, Snowden Square, and Columbia Crossing.
The restaurants and shops of old downtown Laurel are a short drive down
Route 216 and there are restaurants and stores of every shape and kind
along the Route 1 corridor.
