A central spot on Kent Island
Sandwiched between the Chester River and Chesapeake Bay in the heart of Kent Island, the Chester area comprises residential suburbs with close proximity to Highway 50. “It is known for its maritime feel—endless views of water, marinas and local establishments, lining the shoreline,” says Jennifer Heilman, the marketing manager for K. Hovnanian Homes. The area also sits 17 miles from Annapolis, Maryland’s capital city and the home of the United States Naval Academy. With access to both nature and modern conveniences, Chester caters to the laid-back coastal lifestyle without sacrificing convenience.
