Ellicott City, MD Apartments for Rent

Nestled along the Patapsco River valley, Ellicott City combines historic architecture with contemporary living options for those seeking apartments for rent. Founded in 1772 by the Ellicott brothers, this unincorporated community serves as Howard County's seat while preserving its character through its historic district. Apartments for rent in Ellicott City provide access to a community known for its granite buildings, rolling landscapes, and the B&O Railroad Museum's Ellicott City Station. With an average rent of $1,834 for a one-bedroom apartment and a range of housing options from restored properties to newer developments, renters can find homes that fit their budgets.

The area balances peaceful suburban living with convenient access to major cities, located just minutes from Baltimore and within reach of Washington D.C. via I-95 and nearby highways.
