Russett is an unincorporated planned community of 613 acres (2.48 km2) within the Maryland City CDP in far-western Anne Arundel County, Maryland, near the city of Laurel. It is situated in a park-like setting complemented by 12 miles (19 km) of walking trails and a 70-acre (280,000 m2) lake nature preserve. About 13,000 residents live in Russett, which is divided into 21 residential neighborhoods and includes seven commercial rental properties. The community of single-family homes, condominiums, and townhouses is nearly built out to a capacity of 3,600 units. Two neighborhoods are under construction.
The Russett Community Association, Inc. (RCA) is the homeowners' association (HOA), and all homeowners are members. Annual HOA fees paid by homeowners fund an annual $2.5 million budget, which goes toward maintenance of playgrounds; a tot lot; tennis, basketball and beach volleyball courts; four pools and a pool house; walking trails; a community center; and private security. The county opened a police substation near the community in 2006.
Except for condominiums, which have their own board of directors, each neighborhood has a committee with up to three members (elected at the annual RCA meeting). These three elect a chairperson who serves as the voting member. Representatives from all neighborhoods meet monthly and advise on community issues, with voting members deciding on changes to community documents, special fee assessments, and membership in the Board of Directors.
