Welcome to Annapolis, MD

Welcome to Annapolis, the “Sailing Capital of America”! This nautical city – and state capital – sits at the mouth of the Severn River, which feeds into the Chesapeake Bay. This makes Annapolis real estate ideal for water lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, and those who simply appreciate the relaxed pace and spectacular views that come with coastal living.

Many families are especially attracted to Annapolis real estate, in large part because of the Anne Arundel school system, which includes Annapolis High School. Dating back to 1898, the high school offers not only advanced placement classes but also the International Baccalaureate program. Even older – by a full one-hundred years – is the city’s St. John’s College, a secular school that follows the Great Books program. The U.S. Naval Academy, which was established in 1845, also calls Annapolis home.

Many Annapolis real estate owners are employed by the government. Yet it’s no surprise that tourism is also a thriving industry, thanks to the city’s excellent seafood, sailing schools, schooner cruises, sunset tours, and sport fishing excursions. And its packed calendar of events featuring live music performances, waterfront festivals, and sailing events means that both Annapolis real estate owners and visitors alike can find plenty of entertainment year-round. So whether you’re looking to relocate somewhere closer to the water or you’re thinking of a second home, Annapolis real estate offers the perfect combination of dynamic community life and unparallel maritime appeal.
