Woodlawn is a thriving and diverse village community that sustains an array of local business and commercial activity. Bounded to the east by Baltimore City and to the west by the Patapsco River, Woodlawn’s landscape is unique. A bustling suburban environment becomes increasingly serene and rural. 
Woodlawn’s traditional commercial corridor at Woodlawn Village is anchored by a new county community center, improved roads and renovations to service and retail buildings. Woodlawn Village provides neighborhood shopping for families living in a mix of historic and new homes. From the charm of handmade pottery and crafts to the convenience of neighborhood service businesses, Woodlawn Village preserves a “small town” presence. A County Community Center draws from the broader surrounding neighborhoods.
Woodlawn is home to the national headquarters of the Social Security Administration and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid services. Totaled, these key federal agencies employ more than 13,000 people, offering a prime market in addition to the community’s 35,000 residents.
This concentration of workers and resources offers a prime retail market, anchored by the regional Security Square Mall, adjacent to Interstates 695 and 70.
