Catonsville’s main street is comprised of small independent shops and business, many of which are music stores.  In fact, because Catonsville has such a high concentration of music stores, venues, and music-related events, the MD legislature, in 2002, issued a proclamation declaring Catonsville to be “Music City, Maryland”.

Catonsville’s main neighborhood, Old Catonsville, on the National Historic District since 2002, is comprised of homes with various architectural styles. Homes for sale in Catonsville comprise architectural styles that include Victorian, Queen Anne, Bungalow, Colonial Revival, Dutch Colonial, Tudor Revival, and Craftsman.

Approximately one week before the parade, chairs begin to appear on Frederick Road as neighbors stake out the curbs and grassy areas along the parade route. Using tarps, wooden stakes, caution tape, and every chair type imaginable, determined residents choose prime spots and often return to the same area year after year. By July 3rd, thousands of chairs are positioned between the 1000 to 1600 block of Frederick Road, ready for what is probably considered the best parade in Maryland.

Catonsville’s access to the Baltimore Beltway, BWI Airport, the MARC Commuter Service, MTA Bus lines, and the Light Rail make it a popular area for those who work in Baltimore City (just 15 minutes from downtown Baltimore) and Washington, D.C. (less than an hour).
