Glen Burnie, MD 21060 410-222-6268 Welcome to Pinewood East, one of Anne Arundel County's modern, affordable senior communities. Pinewood East, consisting of 90 apartments, is owned and managed by the Housing Commission of Anne Arundel County. The community consists of one all inclusive midrise building with lobbies on each floor, elevator access and a modern community room. It offers one bedroom, junior one bedroom, two bedroom and studio apartments. At Pinewood East, active senior adults enjoy the comforts and benefits of independent living. However, should the need arise and assistance is needed, Pinewood East is one of the few communities in Anne Arundel County that offers the Congregate Housing Services Program at a very reasonable additional cost. The Pinewood Park nestled in the trees in the center of the village, is equipped with tables, grills and a swing. The park is a great place to picnic or justrelax with friends.
