LUTHERVILLE-TIMONIUM, MARYLAND
ABOUT 21093
Lutherville-Timonium is a welcoming, family-oriented suburban community in northern Baltimore County, Maryland. Some areas are referred to as Lutherville, some as Timonium, and others as Lutherville-Timonium, but there aren't necessarily specific boundaries.
This area combines historic charm with modern convenience just 10–15 minutes north of downtown Baltimore via I-83 or York Road.
Lutherville-Timonium offers many tree-lined streets, rolling hills, and easy access to the city while maintaining a peaceful, small-town feel. It was founded in 1852 as a planned Lutheran community anchored by a seminary and church, while Timonium grew around the historic Timonium Race Course and Maryland State Fairgrounds.
Today, the two blend into one vibrant ZIP code (21093) with a combined population of about 17,000, excellent schools, abundant parks, and a strong sense of community.
