Brooklandville is a small community in Baltimore County, Maryland, in the United States. It's known as an "unincorporated community," which means it doesn't have its own city government. Instead, it's part of the larger county area.
Brooklandville is located near where two major roads meet: the Jones Falls Expressway and the Baltimore Beltway. While it has its own ZIP code (21022) and post office, some addresses in the area are actually considered part of nearby Lutherville. Important places like the Park School of Baltimore and St. Paul's Schools have Brooklandville mailing addresses. However, the main office area called Green Spring Station is usually considered part of Lutherville.
