Evergreen Park/Holly Beach is a suburb along a peninsula

If you’re looking for friendly neighbors, waterfront access and peaceful countryside vibes then Evergreen Park/Holly Beach is the place for you. “I think the best thing about this area is the water,” says Rosemary Roos-Whitney, longtime resident and Realtor with Cummings & Co. A part of the greater Essex area, Evergreen Park/Holly Beach is located on the Holly Neck Peninsula and is comprised primarily of woodlands. Homes here dot the area’s shorelines, and the peninsula features two restaurants, a handful of marinas, the Essex Airport and Rocky Point Park and Golf Course. The privacy and quiet of this area makes this community ideal for those who enjoy nature and don’t mind driving a few minutes to get to their local store.

Waterfront single-family homes

Residences in Evergreen Park/Holly Beach are primarily single-family homes ranging from renovated 1950s builds to new construction options. Prospective buyers can choose from charming split-levels or ramblers, Colonial Revivals, or expansive waterfront estates. The average sales price here is $689,000, but price points can vary from the low $300,000s to over $1.4 million depending on the age, size, and location of the property. Properties that offer direct waterfront access tend to have the highest price tags.

Advanced Placement courses in Chesapeake High School

Students here attend Baltimore County Public Schools, like Middleborough Elementary, Deep Creek Middle, and Chesapeake High. Serving over 1400 students in ninth through twelfth grades, this school offers AP courses and offers a signature Information Management Program.

Nearby supermarkets and dockside seafood restaurants

Because Evergreen Park/Holly Beach is less commercial than its neighbors, residents will have to travel a few minutes north for all their everyday essentials. A quick drive up the 702 will bring you to the local Food Lion, where you can stock up on your weeks’ worth of groceries. Or for an evening out, residents can always pop over to one of their two local staples, McFaul’s Oyster and Reel; or the Island View Waterfront Café. Both feature fresh seafood entrees, indoor and outdoor seating and scenic views.

Or if you’re looking to expand your options, you can always hop in your boat and cruise over to popular waterfront spots like The Crazy Tuna Bar & Grille for some good seafood and an orange crush or two. Featuring live music every Friday and Saturday night—and a tiki-bar, beach, and free slips to dock your boats—you’re bound to have fun and enjoy the laidback river vibes here.

Folks explore Rocky Point Park or fish on the pier at Cox Point

Another perk to living in Evergreen Park/Holly Beach? “You’ll never be bored here,” says Roos-Whitney. And she’s right, there’s always something fun to do. Be it the seasonal farmers market, a trip to Rocky Point Park and Beach for some fun in the sun, or making time to tee-off at the Rocky Point Golf Course, the options are endless. Plan a picnic, play some volleyball, or launch a kayak or two. Or if fishing is more your speed, head over to Cox Point fishing pier and cast out your line.

Highway access to Baltimore, Columbia and Annapolis

And when it’s time for a change of pace, Evergreen Park/Holly Beach’s location makes it easy to get where you want to be. “We’re so close to I-695, 95, and the city,” adds Roos-Whitney. “We can go to an Orioles game Downtown, hop on 95 and be back home within twenty minutes. I love it.” Same goes for nearby Columbia, Maryland, and Annapolis. Plan a shopping trip to the Mall at Columbia, or spend an afternoon in Downtown Annapolis strolling the waterfront promenade. Browse Main Street’s boutiques and restaurants, tour the U.S. Naval Academy, or just eat an ice cream cone while lounging in the sun.
