The Trails at Woodlot is a wonderful "outparcel" neighborhood located in Columbia, Maryland that is not subject to the Columbia Association assessment.

Hobbit's Glen is a highly desired neighborhood in the Village of Harper's Choice in Columbia, Maryland. It is one of the neighborhoods in the Village of Harper's Choice ... and one of the "original" neighborhoods that James Rouse developed in the "New City".  These homes were built in the 1960's through the early 1980's.   Certainly not "old" by most city standards, but for Columbia, the Hobbit's Glen Neighborhood is one of the "oldie but goodies". The center piece of the neighborhood is the Hobbit's Glen Golf Course.  The most recent Hobbit's Glen Columbia home sales statistics are in the chart below.

One of my favorite local events of the year is "Wine in the Woods" Merriweather post pavillion and Symphony Woods in Columbia hosts this annual May event that attracts many people from across the state. The focus is on Maryland Wine and the local wineries. To be honest the wine is NOT the finest you will ever taste. Maryland weather is far from perfect for wine grapes, but despite the lack of year round sunshine there are still many participants. There is also lots of crafts, music and local food. We always take a huge group of friends, lots of good food, chairs and blankets and enjoy the day.....rain or shine! Here are photos from last years event! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are planning to move to the Central Maryland... 05/10/2011

It was an early start at Union Jack's British Pub in Columbia, MD this morning. The doors opened at 5:30am and by 6am all the tables were filled with patrons eager to enjoy the nuptials of the Royal Wedding in Westminster Abbey in London. Many of the ladies had dressed up & wore big hats to celebrate the day. There was a special Royal Menu for the morning that included a traditional English Breakfast (sadly without the mushrooms, but still tasty) smoked salmon & bottomless Mimosa's and Bloody Mary's for $10. For many, this was also going to be a work day so not really an option.The early bird today was WBAL who came and left by 6am, They were followed by the local ABC affiliate and All the TV's were tuned to ABC or BBC America for the ceremony. The Baltimore Sun were also on hand to rec... 04/29/2011

In the United Kingdom it is very common to see the women guest's at a wedding wearing a hat. It's not required, there does not seem to be a long standing rule, but it is a very normal practice.The first wedding I attended in this Country I stood out like a big sore thumb in my "titfer". (That is cockney rhyming slang for a hat). I was the only one wearing a hat as it seems it is NOT an American tradition. With the Royal Wedding just hours away the famous milliners of England are probably counting all of their income thanks to the Royal nuptials.Tomorrow I am up at the crack of dawn and heading to the local British Pub, "Union Jacks" in Columbia to watch the big ceremony. The fun starts at 5:30am. Today I searched in the attic for my hat box that contains my infamous wedding hat. I think... 04/28/2011

On Friday April 29th the residents of the United Kingdom will be taking a day off from work. It's a National Holiday as Prince William and Kate Middleton have the most  public wedding of the century. It seems my Royal invite got lost in the mail, but fortunately the best British Pub in the Central Maryland area, THE UNION JACK'S in Columbia, is hosting a Royal Wedding Morning.In the UK and on BBC America the coverage will begin at 3am, but Union Jacks will be opening the doors at 5:30am. Scones and Tea will be served with Bloody Mary's (named after Queen Mary) and Mimosas. I am sure the traditional British Breakfast will be a big hit too.Local TV network WBAL TV will be in house to enjoy the festivities. I am scheduled on air just after 6:15am to have a little chat with Jennifer Francio... 04/26/2011

Featured Listing Friday - Featured Community - Single Level Homes in the Village of Oakland Mills. From time to time I work with Buyers who have a very specific type of property in mind.  In fact, I am working with a Buyer right now who would like a home with these features: Most important - a single level home - no stairs A smaller home - 2 or 3 bedrooms at the most No basement - no waterproofing to worry about, no sump pump headaches For many Buyers, when looking for these qualities in a home, they believe their options are limited to a Condo.  But what if you would like the ease of living that a Condominium provides, and yet the space and privacy of a single family home?  What if the Buyer would like room to garden, or a private yard with a patio or deck to enjoy the seasons? In this... 04/08/2011
