North Beach blends commuter convenience and a tight-knit beach town

In North Beach, there’s no need to decide between a commuter-friendly community and a beach town retreat. 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.

Fresh summer produce, large grocery stores and waterside dining

Where someone might shop depends on the season. From May to October, pick up fresh produce from local vendors at the farmers market along Chesapeake Avenue or from Chesapeake’s Bounty on Bay Avenue. During the fall and winter, a wide selection of groceries is 10 miles away at Dunkirk Gateway, home to Walmart and Giant Food. When in the mood to dine out, Plaza Mexico is a top-rated spot steps from home, known for its margaritas and fajitas. For a spot with farmhouse décor and a relaxed atmosphere, Hook & Vine includes seafood and cocktails less than 2 blocks from the shoreline.
