Bordering creeks for water living

Hugged by several creeks flowing into the bordering Patapsco River, Solley offers an upscale lifestyle featuring waterfront homes and a growing number of luxury housing developments. Locals take full advantage of their community clubhouses and swimming pools, which all come with the cost of being part of a homeowners association. Residents can enjoy relaxing on private community beaches, taking boats out to the river and Chesapeake Bay and dining out at waterfront restaurants. While a large section of the neighborhood is highly industrial with dozens of manufacturers, warehouses and the Brandon Shore Power Plant, it’s all hidden by trees, other than the power plant’s towering smokestacks.
The Solley neighborhood is boarded several creeks and the Patapsco River.

Clubhouses and nearby marinas

Most housing developments come with clubhouses for the community to enjoy. “It’s like resort-style living with all the amenities,” says Marina Yousefian, Realtor with Long & Foster Real Estate, who has sold hundreds of homes in Solley. “They have everything from outdoor pools, dog parks, playgrounds, gyms and lots of walking trails.” Those who don’t live by the water can keep their boats at one of the many marinas or leave it at home and take it out from a nearby launch like the one at Solley’s Cove Park. Some communities also have their own private beaches with boat launches and fishing piers open only to residents.

Townhomes and waterfront homes

HOA developments continue to be built after they began popping up in 2008, taking over what was once mostly woods. Luxury three-to-four-story townhouses are the most common homes in these developments, ranging from $350,000 to $600,000. Most come with attached garages and back decks either facing neighbors or the woods. Some developments feature single-family Craftsman-style houses with three to five bedrooms and fenced-in backyards selling for around $450,000 to $675,000. Those seeking waterfront homes can find them on the southeast side of Solley. Single-family houses in all shapes and sizes line the creek shores with private docks and a wide range of prices. There are small 600-square-foot houses with one bedroom starting at around $350,000, larger 4,000-square-foot homes selling for up to $915,000 and everything in between.

Crab cakes on the marina

Several local restaurants line Fort Smallwood Road just before the Stoney Creek Drawbridge. Stoney Creek Inn is a local favorite, where residents enjoy the restaurant’s famous crab cakes while soaking in views of the marina from the patio. There’s also the hidden gem of Broken Oar Bar & Grill, offering sushi and American grub with creekside seating. Across the bridge, locals can shop for groceries at Geresbeck’s. For other shopping needs, residents can head 5 miles south, where there are lots of shopping centers with big box stores along with Marley Station Mall.
When Solley residents want some great seafood dishes, they make a stop at The Stiney Creek Inn.
