ANNE
ARUNDEL COUNTY WATER FRONT HOMES
Water Oriented
Communities
Anne Arundel County is famous for several things, the Chesapeake Bay
Blue Crab, the Chesapeake Bay and water oriented communities and some
very wonderful water front homes. With over 534 miles of coastline in
Anne Arundel County real estate communities are one of the first places
considered by home buyers when they decide to buy a water front home.
Some of the older communities on the water in Anne Arundel offer small
lot water front and water view homes in reasonable prices for home buyers
looking for a weekend retreat or would like to have water access for
water sports. There are so many inlets, coves, bays and creeks that
are tributaries to the major rivers and the Chesapeake Bay offering
thousands of water front lots and small homes, many with piers and private
docks. Some waters such as the Severn are deep water rivers and offer
water front lots with water
deep enough to dock a sail boat. Most lots with Mean Low Water of 5-6
feet are throughout Anne Arundel County and offer wonderful docks, marinas
and private piers for motor boats. Lots with Mean Low Water of 1-3 feet
will often have a community marina with deep water docks and piers.
