Slow peninsula living east of Pasadena
Located about an hour outside of Baltimore, residents of Jacobsville-Bayside Beach enjoy a variety of outdoor adventures. The local culture is quite nautical, and many homes overlook the inlets of the Patapsco River. “I was born and raised here, so I don’t know if I’m biased, but it’s a great central location. The draw here is mostly to the water and to the people; it’s a very tight-knit community,” says James Bowerman, a Realtor with the Real Creative Group who has been selling in the area for nearly a decade. “It feels a little more off the beaten path in Bayside Beach, which has one lane going each way, so it does feel more secluded and exclusive. Jacobsville is dead center and in a more developed area with planned communities like Chesterfield and Greenhaven, which can be more affordable than being on the water.” Boaters take to the river to fish or enjoy water sports, while those on land sit beneath umbrellas at the private Bayside Beach or at Fort Smallwood Park. The average house list price is about $615,000, higher than in nearby Green Haven and Pasadena. While several residences have private docks on the waterfront, there are also inland cottages and family homes. Locals can shop at Lakeshore Plaza or hit the links at the Compass Pointe Golf Courses. Students study within the Anne Arundel County Public Schools and Baltimore County Public Schools systems, both graded a B on Niche.
If boating, crabbing, and relaxing are your speed, consider living in Jacobsville-Bayside Beach.

Golf, swim and play in Jacobsville-Bayside Beach
For easy bay access, members at the Maryland Yacht Club take advantage of the club’s marina, its swimming pool, kayak launch, and waterfront dining room. Fort Smallwood Park, north of the club, has a playground and sports courts, a fishing pier and a sandy beach. Avid golfers enjoy the fairways at Compass Pointe Golf Courses, which has not one but two 18-hole courses, as well as a driving range and Bogey’s Grill restaurant. “I just played golf there on Monday. It’s a nice amenity to have so close,” Bowerman says. The Y in Pasadena has several indoor and outdoor amenities, including its large outdoor swimming pool, playground and sports courts. For history buffs out there, “Hancock’s Resolution is a historic farm that has been maintained. It’s a little bit around the corner from Bayside Beach,” Bowerman says. “It gives you a glimpse into the past and about what life was like around here. It was also one of the lookout points for keeping an eye on the British fleet.”

Riverfront estates and inland family homes in Jacobsville-Bayside Beach
Jacobsville-Bayside Beach features a variety of housing architecture and styles. Inland homes closer to town are a mix of split-levels and Colonial-inspired family homes on spacious lawns. Closer to the shoreline, cozy cottages may have only two bedrooms and overlook small inlets of the Patapsco River. “It’s a little bit more affordable here than, say, in Severna Park right down the road, which will be more expensive,” Bowerman says. “Once you get into Pasadena, including Bayside Beach and Jacobsville, you find more - relatively speaking - affordable detached single-family homes.” Larger waterfront estates include sprawling floorplans with private docks on the Chesapeake Bay. Depending on a home’s size and proximity to the shoreline, prices can range between $350,000 and over $1.5 million. Those near the many inlets and Patapsco River shoreline may experience flooding during heavy rainfall.

Weekly gatherings at the Mountain Road Library in Jacobsville
The Mountain Road Library is a great space for attending weekly events. “Here at the library, we offer a program for babies every Friday and one for toddlers every Tuesday, as well as a preschool Storytime every Wednesday. It’s part of our kindergarten readiness program where we work to get young kids ready to go to school,” says Sandy Murphy, a Pasadena local who has been working in the local library system for 18 years. “Moms, dads, grandparents, caregivers, everyone shows up with their kids... They can make lifelong friendships by meeting here.” The library also offers a Dungeons and Dragons club for teens and afternoons where elementary students can learn STEM subjects through hands-on projects, such as circuit making and building with straws and Legos.
Crab shacks and waterfront taverns on the Patapsco River
“Being right on Chesapeake Bay is a national treasure. You get a lot of fishing, boating, and crabbing. It’s a great place to get on the water and enjoy summer,” Bowerman says. "There’s also a lot of small business owners and, for some reason, an entrepreneurial spirit that flows through the area." Right on Wall Cove, Sam & Maggie's Dockside Grill makes for a great place to have a meal and watch the sunset. Mike’s Crab House North on Colony Road is well-known for its crab cakes and patio tables overlooking the White Rocks Marina. Irv’s Basement Bar, located on Knollview Avenue, has been operating in the basement of Irv's home on the Chesapeake Bay since 1963. Visitors sign the walls, ceiling and articles of clothing, which they leave behind as a testament to their patronage at Irv’s. The man himself has recently celebrated his 100th birthday. The Rumor Reel is a waterfront tavern to the south and is a fan favorite among Lake Shore neighbors nearby. The tavern serves a Sunday brunch and fresh seafood, hosting live music nights overlooking the water. Closer to Jacobsville is Cookie’s Kitchen, a family diner famous for its breakfast and sausage gravy. Lakeshore Plaza, just down the road, houses familiar stores like Safeway, UPS Store and Costello’s Ace Hardware of Pasadena. Within the plaza, Two Rivers Steak & Fish House is known for its weekly specials and selection of cocktails.
