Kitchens across Anne Arundel County: what local homes call for
If you own a home in Anne Arundel County, its age matters more than its address. Median homes here date to roughly 1984, ranging from 1950 (Galesville) to 2009 (Hanover), so scope and budget vary a lot from one community to the next.
County-wide, median home value is about $516,000 (about 55% above the national median of $333,000), with Glen Burnie at the lower end near $339,000 and Gibson Island at the top near $2,000,000.
Roughly 76% of households in these communities own their home and 82% of the housing is single-family. Only about 27% of homes predate 1970, so most Anne Arundel County projects are about finishes, storage and flow rather than hidden repairs.
