Why Live in Kingstown
Kingstown is a quiet suburb bracketed by the Chester River and Chestertown to the west and farmland to the east. Thomas Boeshore, an associate broker at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Homesale Realty who has sold homes in the area for 27 years, says people like Kingstown for its proximity to Chestertown’s shopping and dining. The town is only about a mile away, but not being within its borders means a quieter atmosphere and lower taxes. And despite being so close, the two areas are in different counties, with Kingstown sitting in Queen Anne’s County. Boeshore says that’s another major plus for many homebuyers. “You’re close to Chestertown, but you get Queen Anne’s schools,” he says. Ranch-style homes, split-levels and Cape Cods are common in Kingstown. Inland fixer-uppers cost between $270,000 and $350,000, while more turnkey homes range from $350,000 to $450,000. Waterfront houses typically cost between $600,000 and $1.3 million. “At $600,000 you’re buying something that needs a lot of love,” Boeshore says. Inland houses often sit on a third of an acre to half an acre of land, while waterfront homes tend to have more land — often an acre or more. Niche gives Queen Anne’s County
