McKinsey Park is a senior community in Anne Arundel County where you'll find condominiums reserved for people 55 and older, and the homes are mid-rise buildings made with brick and built back in 1995 by Leimbach Construction, who used over seven inches of concrete between floors to help with noise, and you'll notice each unit has double-pane windows and a secure entrance with a motion sensor, so you get a bit of security and some peace and quiet, too. Each condo unit is privately owned and ranges in size from about 1,231 to 1,482 square feet, and the floor plans usually give you two bedrooms and two bathrooms with open layouts, a balcony or enclosed sunroom overlooking wooded areas or a pond, so folks get lots of light, some privacy, and sometimes you can see birds in the pond or at the sanctuary. The grounds are landscaped and you'll find sidewalks and underground sprinklers outside, and the buildings have elevators which help with getting around, especially since the design is mostly one floor with no interior stairs to climb.
The model "D" floor plan is one of the larger options, with windows, a tray ceiling in the main bedroom, and all the basics on one level, like a laundry room with washer and dryer, a kitchen with updated stainless appliances and granite, and spaces for living, dining, studying, and storage-plus you get fresh paint and new features like vanities and mirrors in the bathrooms. These condos have central air for cooling, heat with natural gas, and an electric water heater, so everything feels up to date, and the HOA fee, which can be around $310 to $410 per month depending on the unit, takes care of exterior maintenance, landscaping, insurance, snow removal, and management. Parking happens outside, and each condo has its own assigned space, but visitors can also use the parking lot up top.
For social time or family visits, there's a clubhouse and a large community room with a kitchen, storage, patio for cookouts, and spots for gatherings or scheduled private events, and people tend to use these spaces for self-directed activities or just to meet up and talk. Pets are allowed here but with some size and number restrictions, and anyone with a pet will need to work within rules that can vary case by case. Folks looking to relax can often sit on the screened, year-round balcony or walk the paths around the pond, where the Cypress Creek Restoration Program's pond brings in birds and wildlife, which is peaceful for bird watchers or anyone who likes nature views. The walk score is 76, so you can walk to many things in the neighborhood, and while the transit score is only 27, some bus service is still available. Nearby schools serve the younger community, like Folger McKinsey Elementary, Severna Park Middle, and Severna Park High-these are mostly for families who may be visiting.
Living at McKinsey Park means joining a quiet, well-kept condo association, where professional management handles daily upkeep and services, and you get amenities like common grounds, elevator, party room, meeting spaces, picnic area, and safety features such as sprinkler systems and locked entries. Flood risk and fire risk information are being gathered, and all units come with secure storage and double-pane windows for extra comfort. All in all, McKinsey Park gives seniors an option for comfortable, low-maintenance living, with many practical features and some pleasant extras like nature views and space for pets, without being fancy or over-the-top.
