Located 20 miles west of Baltimore and 40 miles north of Washington, D.C., this hidden gem is the perfect place for renters looking for a place with a small-town vibe, but easy access to all amenities. Sykesville’s historic downtown area has been lovingly maintained and renters will learn to appreciate the numerous festivals year-round when the tight-knit community enjoys coming together, such as during the Fine Art & Wine Festival and the Chili Cook-Off. Sykesville also offers everything that renters with young children could need, from numerous parks to explore (fishing, horseback riding, hiking, and golf are all permitted at the McKeldin Recreation Area) to a stellar public school system.

    Renting in Sykesville, MD

    Renters constitute the minority in Sykesville, where most residents own their homes in the city’s dense, suburban environment.

However, you can also find an apartment for rent in one of the low-rise apartment communities on Village Road. The cost of a rental apartment in Sykesville is on par with the rest of the Baltimore-Columbia-Townson metropolitan area, making it similar to the national average, but more affordable than the average rent in the state of Maryland.
