North Shore Landing open and affordable

Kim Summerlin and her fiancé, Joe Corteal, wanted a blank canvas when they went looking for a new home.

“I liked the fact that you could pick your own options,” Summerlin said of North Shore Landing, the Mandrin Homes development between Glen Burnie and Pasadena where she eventually wound up buying. “We did an island in the kitchen, recessed lighting, and a Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom.”
