Queenstown is a historic coastal "little town on the water"
Queenstown has changed significantly throughout its history, from the first seat of Queen Anne's County in the early 1700s to the site of a naval battle during the War of 1812, a steamboat port in the mid-1800s and a major hub for seafood harvesting and farming today. “It’s a nice halfway point between places like Northern Virginia and Baltimore for folks who used to go to Ocean City or Delaware,” says Jimmy White, a Kent Island resident and Realtor with the Jimmy White Team of the Long & Foster Kent Island Office. “There’s lots of water to look at, beautiful homes on the waterfront, boating, and peace and quiet." The town's motto is the Latin phrase, “Parvus Urbs Ad Is Aqua' or "Little Town on the Water." Though the town has a passionate population of longtime residents, attractions like Queenstown Premium Outlets and the Queenstown Harbor Golf Links attract visitors year-round.

Waterfront homes and modest midcentury builds further inland
The median price for a single-family home in Queenstown is $899,000, and prices vary depending on square footage, lot size and location. Waterfront homes are often priced closer to $1 million. “Many of the folks who buy there are buying because they want a house, not because they need a house,” says White. “It’s popular to search for vacation homes in the summertime.” Further inland, Cape Cods, ramblers, and Colonial Revivals tend to be more modestly priced and sit along narrow suburban streets. Potential homebuyers should be advised that the community has a moderate flood risk due to storm surges from Queenstown Harbor.

Queenstown Harbor Golf Links is a massive public club with two main courses, the Lakes Course and the River Course, both of which are open to the public. The club also offers waterfront cottages to rent and dining options like the Tavern at Queenstown Harbor. Golfers come from around the state to play on the fairways overlooking the Chester River.
