Reisterstown is a small, but dense town where everyone knows everyone, which is unique. Even though Reisterstown is predominantly white, the community has a high Hispanic population, and therefore many smaller, family owned Latinx grocery stores, restaurants, and shops. In addition to this, there are other nationalities present on the main street, where plenty of the smaller shops are, including Russian, Indo-European, and Chinese. The diversified community brings a sense of belonging.

Soldiers Delight Natural Environmental Area is a spot with many nature trails and water, where you’ll find people jogging, walking their dogs, or just strolling. It is protected by the State of Maryland and is a popular place to get away from some of the bustle in the area. The Baltimore Ravens training center is nearby, and it is common to see a Ravens player in casual situations like in the line at Starbucks, driving, in Target, or pumping gas.
