OR material here (there's lots more in the article, but this has been tagged since February):
Severn has gone from a small rural town, prior to the 1980s, to a town straining to contain its population growth. Property values have risen exponentially (more than doubled between 1998 and 2004) because the town is located fifteen miles southwest of
Baltimore City and twenty-eight miles northeast of
Washington, DC, allowing residents to work in either city. Traffic gridlock has become a major concern and aggravation for long-time Severn residents who were used to the rural setting it once was. There is a small but significant culture shock between these long time Severn residents and affluent professionals moving in to the area as real estate development continues to boom.citation needed
During rush hour, driving to DC takes between 30 minutes and 1 hour each way. Baltimore, fifteen miles to the northeast, is only a twenty-minute drive. There is one major highway adjacent to Severn,
Baltimore-Washington Parkway which leads to points North and South. And the
I-95 entrance is about ten minutes away (a little further along
MD Route 175 past the B/W Pkwy exits). While routes
I-295 and I-95 provide fast access north and south,
MD Route 100 provides rapid east and west travel from
Pasadena, Md., west to
Columbia, Md..
MD Route 32 runs parallel to MD-100 connecting
Annapolis, Md., to Columbia, Md., through Severn as well. Severn is a very strategic location for affluent families looking to escape the oversaturation and inflation of Washington, Baltimore and some other suburbs-mainly Montgomery County suburbs. It is a fifteen minute drive to
BWI airport and has several highways passing through the area, including access to the
MARC Train commuter rail service in Odenton only ten minutes away. It is poised to be the next sought-after community just as many Montgomery County suburbs were ten to fifteen years ago.
