Hi ladies,
I haven't lived in MD very long and we are looking to purchase a home here. We've been looking in Columbia, Ellicott city and surrounding areas. We think we found a house that we might put an offer on this week. It's located in Long Reach, I think in the neighborhood of Phelps Luck. It's off Tamar Stonecutter just outside of Kendall Ridge. The elementary is Waterloo, middle is Mayfield high is long reach. Our LO will not be in school for quite a few years he's 2 months today OMG!! but it's still very important for us to be in a good school system area, aafe neighborhood, erc. So, I would like to know your honest opinions of this area, neighborhood, schools, crime, etc, harsh truths please : we moved here from out of state several months ago and don't know many people so it's a little stressful making such a huge purchase without having background knowledge on neighborhoods. I'd appreciate any feedback. Thank you!!!

I think Waterloo, Mayfield and Long Reach are all really good schools. I would be wary about any house that puts you in the district for Howard High though as an FYI.
Did you drive around the area? I think in Columbia y
We used to rent a townhome in the Long Reach area (near where the house you're looking at is) and honestly, I wouldn't want to live there long term. It wasn't one of the nicer areas in Columbia. Howard County Police also has an interactive map on their

Thank you all for your replies, it's a huge help. Since Longreach is so large & Tamar is a long road I thought maybe I'd try & narrow it down a bit and see if it makes a difference. The neighborhood is just behind Tamar Meadow apts

Personally, I really like Dorsey and River Hill the best. In Clarksville, you will get more bang for your buck. My MIL lives in the Glenelg area of Ellicott City, which kind of technically Clarksville, and the houses are very nice out there. The school
Funny - my mother lives in this neighborhood you are speaking of - off of Window Latch Way (specifically Dark Hawk Circle). If the house is there, it is a great neighborhood, very friendly and with kids. My mother has never had a problem an

Becky- It is all Ellicott City according to the post office
Basically, they put Ellicott City on their mail or the zip anyway.
You may be thinking of Glenwood which is a little further west. She lives on Folly Quarter right down from Gle

Not too late at all. I appreciate all the feedback. I agree on Howard as well, although there may have been some negative comments all the reports show this as one of the best schools in the county and in the country. We decided not t
