There are so many reasons why I love Eldersburg and Sykesville. I love the western side of Carroll County for its proximity to Howard County, Baltimore County, and all Commuter areas. You get highly ranked schools, the charm of a quaint downtown, and the amenities we all know and love: Ulta, Starbucks, Homegoods, and Michael’s. The local GIANT has drop-in child care so that you can shop in peace!
