Transportation

Cars are an excellent mode of transportation in Edgemere. The majority of real estate listings are a reasonably short drive from the nearest highway, such as Baltimore Beltway, and parking is easy. A majority of the houses for sale in this part of the Greater Baltimore metropolitan area are located in places that are not very convenient for those who like to get around as pedestrians as running common errands is impractical without needing to resort to a vehicle. Even though cyclists do not face significant hills, cycling is also occasionally difficult in Edgemere as there are few bike lanes.

Regarding eating, in all but a very small number of cases, a vehicle is required to shop for groceries.
