Modern development adjacent to a historic downtown
If historic downtown Annapolis is for the tourists, then Parole is for the locals. Once a Civil War prison camp, the generations-old seafaring culture of downtown, though still present along Parole's waterfront estates, takes more of a back seat to its recent commercial development areas. With a mix of bustling shopping centers and serene nature escapes, Parole has a little something for everyone. "Annapolis is sort of in its own corner of Maryland, and Parole is like a modern suburban area grafted onto the side of downtown," says David Beugelmans, an Annapolis resident and volunteer for Mid-Atlantic Off-Road Enthusiasts (MORE), which led the charge in 2018 to improve the trails at Annapolis Waterworks Park. "In my opinion, the key thing is that Parole has a lot of resources available and is expanding, so if you're relocating, that could be appealing, not to mention the trail hiking is a now draw too."

Town centers with endless shopping and diverse cuisines
Parole offers a bounty of shopping. Several town centers dot the area with dense collections of boutiques and national brands. Annapolis Town Center is the most prominent, featuring a central boulevard and green space, flanking more than 100 stores and an amphitheater. Residents visit to buy a new iPhone at the Apple Store, shop for crafts at Pottery Barn or stock up on groceries at Whole Foods Market or Target. Locals also enjoy a litany of dining options, whether it's a cappuccino from Baltimore Coffee & Tea or an elegant night of wine tasting at Cooper's Hawk Restaurant & Tasting Room. Further out, residents can find standalone options for shopping and dining. The Pennsylvania Dutch Farmers Market location offers a spot for farm-to-table meats and cheeses, while Basmati Indian Restaurant offers a traditional lunch buffet of chicken tikka masala, plus vegan options.

Skipping past Baltimore
Those living near Annapolis Town Center have ample access to bus routes, which converge around the town center and extend into downtown. Those living further away depend on a car for commutes and errands. U.S. Route 50 forms the main artery for Parole, which can be used for straight shots into D.C., or to circumvent Baltimore gridlock when heading north.
Helpful, healthful community events
Residents avoid the tourism downtown with events of their own. Annapolis Town Center hosts frequent community events, such as blood donation events that partner with local food trucks. The real centerpiece is the 42-year-running Anne Arundel County Farmers' Market, which occurs every weekend beginning in April, offering fresh produce, antiques and family-friendly activities.
Trading sea legs for nature hikes
The serene catch-and-release fishing lakes at Annapolis Waterworks Park are a common site for recreation. In 2019, the park's hiking and biking trails were improved through volunteers with MORE. These now extend for some 16 miles and connect with nearby trail networks like Bacon Ridge. "Natural surface hiking and biking trails have been historically missing from Annapolis. People who live around here needed to drive over an hour to reach quality trails," says Beugelmans. "The project definitely fostered a sense of community. People make friends because they've ridden the trails or volunteered together." For rainy days, the Arundel Olympic Swim Center offers regular programming and swim lessons.

Dense urban condos and serene waterfront estates
“Parole's big town center is very urban and central,” says Rachel Gontkovic, Realtor with Long & Foster. Housing options are predominantly "large condo and apartment complexes.” These tend to be around commercial areas and feature amenities such as 24/7 security, garage parking and pools. Detached single-family homes are found in established residential areas and a small handful of gated communities. Although many are newer, colonial-style split-levels and ramblers from the 1900s exist too. Some from the 1960s and 80s take a midcentury appearance instead. Modest single-family homes often start in the mid $500,000s, larger ones in the $700,000-$900,000 range and waterfront estates reach upwards of $1 million.

Things to consider
