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.

Municipal docks and the popular Queenstown Harbor Golf Links

Queenstown Community Park features a playground, soccer field, and a small free library box where locals can donate and borrow books. The town hosts several municipal boat docks where residents can rent slips and take their vessels out on Queenstown Creek for a pleasure cruise or fishing trip. 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.

Queenstown Pizzeria sits along Main Street and serves carryout pies, wings and cheesesteaks. Queenstown Premium Outlets is an outdoor mall that is home to over 50 retailers, including brands like Gap, Old Navy and Nike. The mall has become a popular stop on the Eastern Shore since a major renovation in 2006 added more space for new stores. Residents can head to Centreville, 7 miles away, to shop at Food Lion and Acme Markets for groceries. The Tavern at Queenstown Harbor overlooks the Queenstown Harbor Golf Links and serves flatbreads, burgers and craft cocktails, as well as a Sunday brunch menu.
