Bayside homes and boating opportunities in Bowleys Quarters
Bowleys Quarters is a quaint suburban peninsula bordered by creeks and rivers branching off the Chesapeake Bay. There are many waterfront homes with private docks, and residents can also rent slips at local marinas to take boats out to fish and cruise on Middle River. “Most buyers appreciate that it’s a waterfront community with access to Baltimore along most of the major routes,” says Tanya Lewis, a real estate agent with Cummings & Co. Commercial, LLC, with over 20 years of experience serving the Greater Baltimore area. “It’s also a quiet area with bars and restaurants spread out along the peninsula.” U.S. Route 40 and the bustling Interstate 95 are a couple of miles north of Bowleys Quarters, and commuters can reach Baltimore in half an hour.

Waterfront homes, townhouses and smaller single-family properties
Popular home styles in Bowleys Quarters include Cape Cods, ramblers and Colonial Revivals along narrow, tree-dotted residential roads. Home prices run from $220,000 to $1.1 million, varying by square footage, lot size and location. Prices usually start around $500,000 for waterfront homes, which often feature docks and boat lifts. “The docks are deep enough for pontoon boats and fishing boats, kayaks and paddleboards, but not so much for yachts,” says Lewis. “There are also some subdivisions that aren’t on the water.” Subdivisions like Carrollwood Manor sit away from the creeks and feature rows of townhouses, which tend to be the most affordable options in the area. The community faces a severe flood risk due to storm surges from the bay, and many residents purchase flood insurance.
Waterfront properties offer an escape from the mundane modern day life.
