Less than 20 miles from Upper Marlboro, the neighborhood has a walkable boardwalk along the Chesapeake Bay. In the summer, the downtown comes to life with farmers markets and beach-goers, and families are drawn here for a well-rated school system.

Housing ranges from waterfront condos to modest single-family homes
Though the community offers condo units with waterfront views, it also has single-family homes immersed in dense greenery. Some streets feel tucked away in the countryside, with narrow streets and vast lots, while others feature sidewalk-lined streets and a beach-town feel. Three-bedroom homes less than 1,000 square feet cost as little as $210,000 for those looking to build a little sweat equity, while condos cost between $250,000 and $450,000. Colonial-style homes over 1,800 square feet with beach access in the backyard cost up to $950,000. Single-family homes are seldom part of a homeowner association, but the Highlands is one HOA option if looking for amenities and private community events.

Fishing piers, gardens and galleries line the banks of the Chesapeake
Pick up a season pass to take in the sunshine all summer along the Chesapeake. If itching to cast a line, the fishing pier is free to residents of Calvert County. For locals who prefer to fish further out, there are slips at the pier’s edge to drop in boats and set sail for anywhere in the bay. To enjoy the tranquility of the water in a more secluded setting, wander through Sunrise Garden off Bay Avenue, a site with small ponds, sculptures and native plants. Once the cold breeze settles in, visit the Bayside History Museum to participate in regular events like trivia, lectures and scavenger hunts. On First Friday, swing by Artworks@7th and browse a gallery of work created by local artists. Every month, the showcased work changes, so residents are always greeted with fresh pieces by different artists.
