Yes, both Chesapeake Bay waterfront (Chesapeake Beach, North Beach) and Patuxent River waterfront (Solomons, St. Leonard, Lusby, Broomes Island), each with a different character.
A Peninsula Between the Bay and the Patuxent
Calvert County occupies a narrow peninsula bordered by the Chesapeake Bay to the east and the Patuxent River to the west, which means waterfront access shapes the county's character more than almost anywhere else in Southern Maryland. It's a quieter, more small-town alternative to Charles County's DC-commuter growth, with Prince Frederick as its central, walkable county seat.
From the Bay-front resort towns of Chesapeake Beach and North Beach to the premier waterfront destination of Solomons at the county's southern tip, Nicole Gantt serves buyers, sellers, and investors throughout Calvert County. Whether you're buying your first home, selling your current property, or expanding your investment portfolio here, Nicole of Deep Roots Real Estate provides personalized guidance and local expertise from offer to closing.
Tell Me What You're Looking For Find Your Home's ValueCalvert County's waterfront splits into two distinct characters: Chesapeake Bay resort-style waterfront around Chesapeake Beach and North Beach (boardwalk, beach town feel), and Patuxent River waterfront around Solomons, St. Leonard, Lusby, and Broomes Island (marinas, boating, a quieter working-waterfront feel). Calvert Cliffs and the fossil-hunting draw around St. Leonard add a lifestyle niche you won't find elsewhere in Southern Maryland.
Route 2/4 runs the length of the county and is the main artery connecting Prince Frederick north toward Annapolis and DC, and south toward Solomons. Dunkirk, the northernmost town center, is the most commuter-friendly option toward Annapolis and DC; Lusby offers an underused military-commuter angle to NAS Patuxent River via the Thomas Johnson Bridge.
The county is served by Calvert County Public Schools, with Calvert High, Huntingtown High, Northern High, and Patuxent High among the main feeder high schools. Exact elementary and middle school assignments depend on your specific address, so verify current attendance boundaries with Calvert County Public Schools before you buy.
Housing stock ranges from Bay-front and river-front waterfront homes to fast-growing family subdivisions in Huntingtown, to quieter residential communities in St. Leonard and Owings. Waterfront property here has historically held its value well and appeals to both long-term renters and second-home buyers, though riparian rights, dock condition, and flood zone status all affect insurance costs and resale value.
