Fulton Overview

Located in the hub of Howard County, Maryland, and boasting an intimate population of just under 3,000 residents, Fulton is a quaint township that is ideal for those yearning to experience a more relaxed way of life. Still bustling with amenities and offering easy access to a number of nearby thriving job markets, this is one Maryland destination that hits the mark in a lot of categories.

What is the history of Fulton?

The region saw its first school open in 1878, and by the early 1900s the First Lutheran Church was firmly established in Fulton, expanding even further in the 1930s. Dairy farming acted as a primary industry in the area through the 1940s, and by the 1990s the city was ripe with further development of housing and retail. As recent as 2013 saw proposals for even further expansion of the Fulton downtown.

How is the weather in Fulton?

Summers tend to be warm and on the muggy side, while winters are generally chilly and snow prone, with little in the way of actual accumulation. Spring rains are the norm, and autumn can be quite pleasant, with jacket-weather temps in the evenings and gorgeous leaf color explosions highlighting September through November.

How do I get around town?

Most residents of apartments in Fulton claim ownership of at least one primary personal automobile, with public transportation throughout the city limited. Still, taxis and ride sharing operations can be found, and bicycling has also increased in popularity of late.

What is the Fulton commute like?

U.S. Route 29 is a primary roadway in the area, as is the hustle and bustle of Maryland Route 216, which runs east-west through much of Fulton proper. I-95 is the major use highway for those commuting to Washington, DC, and those making the daily drive can expect traffic delays during most 9-to-5 rush hours. Consistent road construction and occasional fender benders can definitely add to the delays for commuters as well.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Washington Post' is the most widely available print news offering in the area, and thanks to its proximity to the DC market most Fulton apartments are within reach of a wide range of television options, from NBC and CBS to FOX and CNN. Radio is likewise eclectic, veering from political and sports talk to musical genres such as modern rock, urban and classical.

Why live in Fulton, MD?

Flush with area schools and even higher education options, this proud Maryland community is big on heart and makes a great jumping off point for those working in the nation's capital. 

What Fulton landmarks should I see?

A branch of John Hopkins University can be found on the city limits of Fulton, and Fulton Station Jewelers has been a city staple for decades. Beaufort Park is a scenic and serene swath that combines woodlands and historic structures, while Evergreen Stables is a must-visit for any animal lover.

What is there to do around Fulton?

Ranazul Tapas Wine & Bistro is an excellent choice for those looking to enjoy some fine vintages and conversation, while the cuts at Venegas Prime Filet are known throughout the state. Swing on over to Looney's Pub for a few pints with your new neighbors, or simply relax with a good book in the intimate surroundings of Sidamo Coffee.

Any annual festivals or Fulton events to know?

The Autumn Harvest Music Festival is a great yearly event, complete with homemade pies and plenty of crafts to go around, while the Street Festival takes to the streets every July 4th weekend. A summer jazz series is a big hit with Fulton apartment residents, and a number of farmer's markets and block parties can be found throughout the year with ease.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?
