Moving to Randallstown, MD: 2026 Randallstown Guide

Randallstown is a suburban community on the west side of Baltimore County, built around Liberty Road (MD 26). It started in the 1700s as a tollgate crossroads on the Liberty Turnpike, where brothers Christopher and Thomas Randall ran a tavern for travelers. Today it is an unincorporated community of about 34,000 to 36,000 people and it became a majority African American community in the 1990s. As of 2020, 72% of residents were African American.

Randallstown suits homeowners who want a single-family house with a yard, big county parks and fast access to Owings Mills, Pikesville and the Beltway. Nearly three out of four homes are owner-occupied, and the median age is older than the county’s, so many streets are quiet and settled. Soldiers Delight and Liberty Reservoir are right on the edge of town.

Moving to Randallstown: Tips From Our Crew

Plan around Liberty Road traffic. Liberty Road is the main route in and out of Randallstown and gets busy at rush hour and on weekend afternoons. A mid-morning weekday start is usually the smoothest.
Tell us about long driveways and split levels. Many Randallstown homes are single-family houses, and some have long or sloped driveways or split-level floor plans. Let us know when you call so we bring the right truck and equipment.
Check HOA and townhome rules. Some Randallstown townhome and condo communities have homeowners association rules about where a moving truck can park and when. Read them before moving day, and ask whether the association needs a certificate of insurance. We provide one at no charge.
Downsizing an older family home. With a median age of 46.9, many Randallstown moves involve downsizing after decades in the same house. Start sorting a room at a time a few weeks out. We can haul away what you don’t keep with our junk removal service.
Moving from Pennsylvania is interstate. A move from York County down I-83 to Randallstown crosses state lines. Use a mover registered for interstate work.
Keep a winter backup date. February averages about 7.4 inches of snow here. If you move between late November and March, choose a backup day. We never charge a rescheduling fee.
