boating

There is something about living on the water that is irresistible.  Perhaps it's the smells, or maybe the sounds... some folks will tell you it's the calm that encompasses you when you're on the water.  While many people choose to live on the water for the fishing and boating, others simply enjoy the view.

Baltimore City and sixteen Maryland counties border the Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in North America.  A search of MRIS (a regional multiple listing system for D.C. and parts of Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and Pennsylvania) yields nearly two hundred homes on the Chesapeake Bay in Baltimore City and eleven counties.  There are hundreds more waterfront homes on the market along the rivers, creeks and streams which flow into the Bay. 

Chesapeake Bay waterfront homes come in all shapes, sizes and prices, ranging from a 2 bedroom 2 bath farm house on Smith Island built in 1900, priced at $89,900, to a 7 bedroom 5 bath home built in 1775 in Chestertown, priced at $6,000,000.  141 of these waterfront properties are detached homes, while the others are townhomes or condos.

Ginger - Yes, one at that price... no photo so we can't see exactly how bad it really looks.  Apparently it is water-locked, as showings depend upon whether the ferry is working.

Katerina - Yes, it is cold in the winter... roughly Nov - March.  I work in Anne Arundel County, which has the most waterfront homes, and Kent Island is located at the other end of the Bay Bridge.  I don't work there often, but I have... and I can.  Annapolis is the crown jewel of the Chesapeake, and that's in my primary market.

My father, a retired Navy Captain, lived in Annapolis for many years after he retired from the Navy. I lived in Norfolk on the beach when I was a toddler, my brother was born there. Katerina

Margaret - It sounds beautiful. The two things I love are the ocean and trees. If I could have both affordably. I would be in heaven.

Hi, Paula - Yes, I love the Ocean, too.  But that's about 2-3 hours, depending on traffic.  The Chesapeake Bay is only 1/2 hour...  a lot shorter commute to DC and Baltimore!  Ocean City, Maryland DOES have both the Ocean and trees - one community in particular, Ocean Pines - about 10 minutes from the Ocean Beach, but lots of trees and a golf course...   and MUCH better prices than the D.C. and Baltimore suburbs.
