Essex is located in Eastern Baltimore County, Maryland with easy access to major highways, waterways, a railway, and airways. The community has roots dating back to 1909 when surveyors first began to stake out 400 lots for the development of Essex.
Once thriving due primarily to its industrial past, the area now is designated a Baltimore County Commercial Revitalization Area and a State of Maryland Sustainable Community. These designations provide economic development incentives that are supporting a renaissance in Essex. It’s a great place to live, work, and play!
