Waterfront living with Eastport pride
Surrounded by water on three sides, Eastport is more than just a neighborhood. It’s a micronation that made a classic American bid for independence — rebellion, perhaps, but with a generous dash of humor and a pinch of marketing. Micronations are small communities that declare themselves independent countries but aren’t recognized by the country they’re located in or the international community at large. The neighborhood’s 1998 declaration of independence came after Annapolis closed the Spa Creek Bridge for a public works project. Because it was the only bridge connecting Eastport to the city, the closure was destined to hurt local businesses; over a few now-legendary beers, a plan was hatched to express displeasure and draw people to the neighborhood. The newly minted Maritime Republic of Eastport’s declaration may have been partially satirical and remains in many ways a fun quirk, but residents have stuck to their metaphorical guns with good-natured humor. Today, the micronation has a proud citizenry, its own flag, and a motto: “We like it this way.” According to Matthew Arnold, a Realtor with REAL, LLC who was born and raised in the Annapolis area and lived in Eastport for 10 years, about 75% of homes have yellow Eastport flags hanging from their front porches.As a maritime republic, hints of the nearby water are everywhere in Eastport. It boasts three marinas, several yacht clubs and a sailing association. “If I were going to live anywhere in the Annapolis region, I’d live in Eastport,” Arnold says. “I would say that if you have the means to live on the Eastport peninsula, there’s not a better place to live in all of Maryland.” This isn’t just because of its historic Chesapeake Bay vibe, but its community. According to Barbara Best, a Realtor at RE/MAX One who has been selling homes here for 36 years, people are always greeting her by name when she has open houses. And with dogs on its official flag, the neighborhood takes its love of canines seriously. “There are treats out in front of some people’s houses for the dogs,” Best says, adding that some people also give out treats to local dogs on Halloween. “It’s very ‘small-town in a city’ feel. It’s a special place.”
Annapolis Yacht Club is a private yacht club providing high quality boating programs.

Boating and sailing around the Eastport peninsula
In Eastport, the water is the biggest source of outdoor fun. “The Eastport peninsula offers just about as many water activities as you can think of,” Arnold says. Residents enjoy boating, sailing, kayaking, fishing and more. The community also has a few small waterfront parks, including Horn Point Park, which features a strip of sand, a shaded green space and a fishing pier. Best says that there are plenty of places to launch kayaks or paddleboards for free. “People will take their pull wagons with their kayaks and their paddleboards and just walk right down to the water and launch them,” she says. “They even put their dogs on them.” Eastport is also home to the Annapolis Maritime Museum & Park. The museum, which has a resident cat named Max, teaches about the natural environment and maritime history of the Chesapeake. It also hosts boat tours and serves as a wedding venue.

Historic homes starting around $500,000
Eastport’s streets are tree-shaded and lined with sidewalks, so residents enjoy walking their dogs or heading to the waterfront on foot. Many of the peninsula’s homes are historic houses on quarter-acre lots, typically ranging from 1920s Craftsman houses, cottages and Victorians to Cape Cods and colonial-style houses. New traditionals and three-story beach houses with private docks are common along the waterfront, but there are also waterfront rowhomes and condominiums; some of these also come with boat slip space. Prices vary greatly depending on waterfront accessibility, location and how updated each house is. The occasional fixer-upper can dip to around $500,000, but most homes cost between $1 million and $6.2 million. Along the base of the peninsula, condominiums become an option, starting at around $240,000 for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit. Competition for homes in Eastport can be stiff. “I’ve got more buyers than I know what to do with right now,” Arnold says. “If I had a house for every one of my buyers right now, I’d have a record year.”
1920's Craftsman homes are a common option of living found in Easport, Maryland.

Hurricane season in Eastport, average CAP Index
Hurricane season can impact Eastport, bringing a major risk of high winds and a moderate risk of flooding. The homes at most risk of flooding are those on and close to the water; FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, places some of these homes in Flood Zone AE, meaning their annual risk of flooding is 1%. Eastport's CAP Index Crime Score is 4 out of 10, matching the national average.
Crab cakes and sailing races at The Boatyard Bar & Grill
Sidewalks line both sides of the streets here, and it’s only a few flocks from the waterfront of Spa Creek to the water of Back Creek. “You can also walk to restaurants and stores and, as I said, the waterfront,” Best says. “Everything is at your beck and call without having to get into your car if you’re willing to walk or bike.” Friends often meet at The Boatyard for a drink and a bite to eat. Nominated as one of the top sailing and boating restaurants by Coastal Living Magazine and earning recognition far beyond even the borders of Maryland, it serves up delicious seafood in rustic digs. Boating memorabilia like buoys, rudders and trophy fish adorn its wooden beams, and it’s often packed with sailors after Wednesday night races. Davis’ Pub has been a go-to spot for locals since the 1920s in one form or another, though the pub itself has been around since 1986. Featured on Food Network’s Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, their go-to item of choice is the crab pretzel, topped with crab dip and cheddar cheese. The Eastport Shopping Center offers a Walgreens, UPS and an athletic club. From spring through fall, there’s fresh local produce at Diehl’s Produce. Grocery stores like Giant and Graul’s Market Annapolis are 2 miles away.
Everything Chesapeake Bay and Nautical can be found inside the Boatyard Bar and Grill.

Annual tug-of-war competition
Eastport’s most memorable tradition is the annual tug-of-war competition between Eastport and Annapolis, dubbed the Slaughter on the Water. It dates back to the Maritime Republic of Eastport’s inception, when residents headed to the Annapolis City Hall and interrupted to declare independence — and war. Tug of war, to be specific. The competition begins with Eastport once again declaring war on Annapolis, which they reenacted at City Hall for years. “They string a really big rope across all of Spa Creek Bridge and get the firefighters from Downtown Annapolis and the firefighters from Eastport peninsula and they recruit people,” Arnold says. “It’s a really big deal, both communities turn out and it’s a friendly competition.” The event, which the micronation’s website dubs “the longest international** tug of war over water in the world,” also features live music, food vendors, a chili cookoff and more. Eastport’s unique sense of humor also shines through in another of its big events: The 0.05K Bridge Run. There are also sailing races every Wednesday. Arnold says that the Annapolis Yacht Club’s races can be seen right from the Spa Creek Bridge. There’s a big St. Patrick’s Day parade and frequent block parties.

Walkable to Downtown Annapolis
When residents want more excitement, many simply walk to Downtown Annapolis. They can also take a water taxi or catch a bus along Chesapeake Avenue or 6th Street. “You get to enjoy all the shops, tourism, restaurants, bars and culture without having to actually live in the more congested area of Downtown Annapolis,” Arnold says. No major roads or highways run through Eastport, keeping it quiet, but that doesn’t mean it’s hard to leave town. According to Best, it has easy ingress and egress, so residents can get out of Eastport and onto major highways without passing through downtown Annapolis if they don’t want to deal with the traffic.
Pedestrians can walk across Spa Creek Bridge to get to Downtown Annapolis.
Downtown Annapolis is only a short walk or drive away from the Easport Neighborhood.
