Trappe is a rural town with suburban subdivisions
The historic rural town of Trappe has slowly developed a suburban curb appeal over the last decade, with new home communities and townhouse rows beginning to fill the market. "Trappe's got everything: generational families, some retirees and even a new home community which is bringing more amenities to residents," says Henry Gibbons-Neff, a Talbot County native and associate broker with Meredith Fine Properties. Buyers can also find older single-family homes around town, blocks away from local dining establishments along Main Street. U.S. Route 50 runs through the center of town, and folks can visit Easton for a wider variety of shopping and dining options.
