Severna Park

I was raised in Severna Park. Sadly, we do believe we are rich. However, once you grow up and see a little more of the world you realize we are pseudo-snobs. The houses in Potomac and Bethesda are about 3x the size and 10x the price. Their kids go to Georgetown prep and are related to the power elite. Severna Park is a glorified upper-middle class town that really, really wants to be something its not.
Severna Park, maybe one day you will be Bethesda.

Severna Park

Small suburban town on the Severn River. South of Baltimore and a tad north of Maryland's capital Annapolis. It began as a just a trainstation stop on the Baltimore-Annapolis Railroad. Originally just a farm or two, the town really began in 1914 when Severn school was founded as a preparatory school for the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis. Much has changed since then. Severn School has become a private college preparatory school whose main attraction to many is simply the ability to tell people that they or his/her son/daughter attends/attended it. Though, of course, it is not all bad- the large majourity of the people are nice. But those who are not more than make up for the rest. The school is the reason for the stereotype that Severna Park is a snobbish town- many of its students are in fact commuters. Just down the street is the Severna Park High School- a more accurate sample of the average Parkie.

The present Severna Park features 11 majour residential communities, 3 majour roads, a coffee shop, 6 churches, a coffee shop, 5 gas stations, 5 schools, a coffee shop, a fine paved running trail from Annapolis to BWI, 3 banks, 2 liquor stores, and a coffee shop.

The buttcrack of Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Severn is more of a zip-code that spans drastically different parts of the county than an actual town. It is mostly upper-middle-class, with one low-income/section 8 area (Pioneer City/Meade Village), some very expensive neighborhoods with $1M-$3M homes in Arundel Forest near Ft. Meade and near Dicus Mill Rd close to Gambrills/Millersville, a few working-class/blue-collar and older neighborhoods with lots of conservative Trumpers off of Quarterfield Rd, and a handful of solidly middle-class neighborhoods.

No, Severn is not “two steps below Arnold and four steps below Severna Park,” and whoever thinks that must have never been outside of Anne Arundel County before. When you see places in Maryland that are actually very rich, like Bethesda, Potomac, Chevy Chase, Kensington, Western Howard County, and even Davidsonville in Anne Arundel County, Severn and Severna Park/Arnold look a lot more similar to each other. Outside of the waterfront strip, Severna Park/Arnold is mostly middle-class and upper-middle-class neighborhoods, with a few $1M+ home and working-class neighborhoods sprinkled here and there, which is basically also what Severn is.

Because Severn is mostly a residential zip-code, nothing is really in Severn. However, because it is widespread, the different areas of Severn are quite close to other areas that have lots to do.
Person 1: “Hey, want to go to the Arundel Mills Mall in Severn?”

Person 2: “Dude, that’s in Hanover, not Severn.”

Severn is a unique and diverse area with a base of affluent/white-collar professionals who work in Fort Meade/Washington DC/Baltimore, a strong population of middle-class families, and a significant minority of working-class and low-income residents.

When two friends fuck either a set of brothers or a set of sisters.
Person 1: Dude Lauren and I are Severning!!
Person 2: No way, which brothers?!
Person 1: The Johnson Brothers!
Severn is in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, United States. The population was 35,076 at the 2000 census, which is a 30 percent increase over the 24,499 population of 1990. The zipcode is 21144.

It is very diverse with a few nasty parts like Pioneer City but they are hoping the new transfers to Fort Meade will help nearby areas.

For people in the area its about two steps below Arnold and four below Severna Park.

Lower-Middle to Middle Class with a few really nice homes in between.
Severn huh? the no man's land between Fort Meade and Millersville.
