Ellicott City, MD - Oct 7, 2024 - Miller & Smith, a leading local homebuilder celebrating its 60th year in business, proudly announces the successful closeout of another luxury home community at Patapsco Crossing. This distinctive community is designed for a diverse market, catering to the unique needs of buyers, including multi-generational families, by offering thoughtfully designed homes with exceptional flexibility built into the plans.
Patapsco Crossing, developed in partnership with longtime collaborator Pleasants Development, who also is celebrating its 60th year, exemplifies the synergy and shared commitment to excellence between the two legacy companies.
"We've had a number of projects in Maryland, but it's been a few years since we had something in Howard County. Howard County neighborhoods have always performed well for us, as there is a strong need for housing in the area,” says Bob Spalding, Miller & Smith’s Vice President – Land. “Partnering with Pleasants Development, the developer of Patapsco Crossing, was a natural fit given our long-standing relationship."
Flexibility was a key focus of this project to fulfill a varied set of requirements from a diverse homebuyer demographic. This adaptability applied to a brand-new multi-generational home design, but also included offering options from three car garages to outside access from basements for homes without a standard walkout condition, catering to diverse buyer needs.
"We made sure to build in the flexibility to allow homebuyers to have choices," Spalding said. "Our challenge was to ensure that the site plan could accommodate these options and we successfully made that happen."
Patapsco Crossing has met a significant demand for multi-generational living, offering options like first-floor suites for aging in place and accommodating families who want to live together across multiple generations. "We've seen many families take advantage of this, allowing parents and grandparents to live with their children and grandchildren, fostering stronger family bonds."
The community's location, became another natural asset, nestled among parks with easy access to major commuter routes. Within moments of Patapsco Valley State Park or Downton Ellicott City, Patapsco Crossing’s location became another valuable draw for families from all walks of life.
"It's always fun and rewarding to see people making their biggest investment and raising their families in a place you helped design and develop,” says Spalding. “There are always thousands of little things we try to solve to make sure their home is everything they intended and it’s always so fulfilling when it turns out to be a place where people love to raise their families."
