A centuries-old coastal community in northeast Maryland
In 1789, Havre de Grace was one vote away from becoming the U.S. capital. As a result of the decision, this piece of Maryland shoreline avoided big-city development and congestion. In lieu of high-rise buildings, vistas include church steeples, rows of aged red-brick storefronts and the historic Concord Point Lighthouse. As the site where the Susquehanna River meets the Chesapeake Bay, the city offers numerous employment opportunities and recreational activities centered around the water. Though a self-sufficient community with a wide range of amenities, Havre de Grace’s nearly 13,000 residents can get to Baltimore in about 40 miles for work or entertainment. Aberdeen Proving Ground, a U.S. Army facility, is another major employer, about 11 miles away.

The waterfront parks, piers and marinas of Havre de Grace
The Millard Tydings Memorial Park provides 20 acres of green space along the water’s edge. Visitors can play on the playground, eat at a picnic table or watch boats sail by from the boardwalk. The Concord Point Park has similar amenities, as well as the lighthouse, which is open for tours. Boaters can choose from a variety of marinas, and plenty of walking piers, like the one at Frank J. Hutchins Memorial Park, are used for fishing. Those who would rather learn about the city’s fishing and crabbing history can check out the Havre de Grace Maritime Museum. Further inland, the Bulle Rock Golf Course features an 18-hole fairway, which was utilized by the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) for several championships. The Havre de Grace Recreation Committee hosts events for both adults and children, from basketball programs to lacrosse clinics.

Downtown dining and shopping in Bel Air
Most restaurants are concentrated near the waterside or off Washington Street. “They’re ready to do downtown revitalization to the shopping district, so it is definitely up-and-coming,” explains Realtor and Team Leader Brian Zack at Garceau Realty. Customers can hit St. John Street for American cuisine at MacGregor’s or Coakley’s Pub before heading to Bomboy’s, a homemade ice cream and candy store that’s been a Havre de Grace classic since 1978. The Tidewater Grille has fresh seafood and a riverfront view, and The Vinyard Wine Bar serves what Zack considers “the best food in town.” Big-box stores, like Weis Markets and CVS, have locations off Route 40, and the closest Target is about 6 miles away. More extensive shopping trips for retail may require a trip to the Harford Mall, about 15 miles away in Bel Air.

First Fridays, Duck Drops and art exhibits
Havre de Grace hosts many events, such as First Fridays, which spotlight small businesses and food trucks along closed downtown streets. The city is known as the “Decoy Capital of the World” for its mass production of Chesapeake Bay duck decoys, used for hunting. Instead of watching a ball drop on New Years Eve, Havre de Grace residents head to Concord Point Park for the annual Duck Drop and midnight fireworks.

Condos on the Susquehanna and colonials from the early 1900s
Buyers will find townhouses, condos and single-family builds throughout Havre de Grace. “It’s a historic district with quite a range of homes, and there has been a lot of revitalization,” Zack says. “People are picking up older homes and restoring them to their former glory.” Common architecture includes colonials, Capes, ranch-style homes and Craftsman bungalows. Waterfront real estate consists of condos with dock slips and marina views.
Though some properties on auction and houses in need of renovations sell for under $100,000, most condos and single-family homes exceed $200,000. Condos farther inland cost up to $400,000, while units closer on the water can reach $700,000. Single-family houses with four-to-five bedrooms may fetch just over $1 million, though prices most often fall between $400,000 and $700,000. Bulle Rock, a gated community with a private activity center, features some of the priciest houses, whereas more affordable neighborhoods, like Grace Harbour, may have more starter-home options.

Harford County and nearby private schools get high marks
The Harford County Public Schools district earns an A-minus on Niche. Students may attend Havre de Grace Elementary, Middle and High schools, which all score in the B range. Alternatively, families can enroll their prekindergarten through eighth graders at Good Shepherd Catholic School, which has an A-plus. About 13 miles away in Bel Air, the Grace Classical Academy is an A-rated private option for prekindergarten through 12th grade.

Navigating the eastern shores of Harford County
Harford Transit LINK buses stop throughout town, with routes including the Green and Teal lines. Commuters can also hop on an Amtrak train in Perryville or Aberdeen. Baltimore rests 30 miles away and Philadelphia, under 70 miles north, via Interstate 95. Route 40 is another major thoroughfare that cuts through the area. The BWI International Airport operates about 47 miles away.
Crime patterns, weather and a restored shoreline
While rates for both property and violent crimes have fluctuated over the last five years, they fell below national and state-wide averages by the end of 2023, according to the FBI.
The city experiences four distinct seasons, and flood risk can increase with proximity to the coast. The Living Shoreline project has begun combatting flood risks near Concord Point with stormwater filtration systems and a sandy stretch of beach that repels waves. The project has brought activity and wildlife back to the area, which was previously facing erosion issues.

Less than 40 miles from Baltimore, Havre de Grace offers two ways of life with a hub of activity along the Susquehanna River and homes on half-acre lots farther west. A self-sufficient community, Havre de Grace has golf courses, shops and restaurants within its borders. Though the neighborhood already offers plenty of amenities, it is undergoing a facelift to freshen up its most frequented stretch. “They’re ready to do downtown revitalization to the shopping district, so it is definitely up-and-coming,” explains Brian Zack of Garceau Realty, a Realtor and Team Leader who’s sold dozens of homes in the area.
In downtown Havre de Grace, condos remain the dominant property type, though a few homes are along the shore. In the areas west of downtown, styles range from brick townhouses to colonial-style, single-family homes. Some properties were constructed in the 1940s, but new builds are also popping up throughout the neighborhood. Though there are properties for auction in the area for less than $180,000, most condos and single-family homes cost more than $200,000. Condos farther inland cost up to $435,000, while units closer to downtown reach up to $630,000. On the other hand, single-family homes can cost up to $1.3 million for a four-bedroom house on the water, but bungalows farther west cost as little as $200,000. One factor continues to drive home prices up downtown. Zack says, “It’s a historic district with quite a range of homes, and there has been a lot of revitalization. People are picking up older homes and restoring them to their former glory.”
Zoned for Harford County Public Schools, the neighborhood benefits from the second-best district in the Baltimore Area, according to Niche. Though the elementary school students attend may vary depending on proximity, many students begin at Havre de Grace Elementary, a school earning a B-plus grade. From here, students transition to Havre de Grace Middle and Havre de Grace High, both of which earn a B grade. Havre de Grace High has a well-known cross-country team and is home to several after-school programs, from speech and debate to theater.
Home to the Millard Tydings Memorial Park, the neighborhood gains access to over 20 acres of green space along the water’s edge. Whether looking to burn off some energy at the playground or walk along the paved trails, the park offers options for all ages. For golf lovers, Bulle Rock sits at the heart of the neighborhood and features a fairway utilized by the LPGA for several championships. When the winter weather makes its way to town, the Havre de Grace Recreation Committee hosts events for both adults and children, from basketball programs to lacrosse clinics.
Most of the restaurants in the neighborhood are concentrated downtown, closest to the waterside. MacGregor’s and Coakley’s Pub are two top spots with American cuisine along St. John Street, but the Vinyard has what Zack considers “the best food in town.” When it comes to groceries, Weis Market takes care of the basics right along Route 40. More extensive shopping trips for clothing and back-to-school needs would likely require the Harford Mall, about 15 miles outside the neighborhood in Bel Air.
Havre de Grace holds events like First Friday throughout the summer, and the State Theater of Havre de Grace regularly hosts performances from musicals to live wrestling. There is also an outdoor art gallery with rotating displays, a recent addition to the neighborhood. “Harmer’s Town Arts Center just opened up, and that is a little bit outside the main downtown area, so it is drawing walking traffic from downtown,” Zack describes.
Though there is no public transit in the area, Baltimore is less than 30 miles away and accessible with the nearby ramp to Interstate 95. Some residents in the neighborhood commute into the city for work, while others work in the neighborhood south of Havre de Grace. “There’s a lot of people employed by Aberdeen Proving Ground,” Zack explains.
