Many people searching for their dream home focus a lot on the home itself. While that is certainly important, it’s not the only thing to consider in your new home search. Finding the right community is essential. After all, the place you call home is more than just the walls around you. Here are just a few of the reasons people choose to build a new home in Anne Arundel County.
Anne Arundel County is nestled along the beautiful waters of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. The county stretches from the south part of Baltimore, down along the eastern edge of the greater Washington, D.C. area. Maryland’s celebrated capital city, Annapolis, is located in this county, along with an array of other historical sites to enjoy.
Annapolis is sometimes referred to as a “museum without walls” because of its rich history that is literally all around you. The colony was founded almost four centuries ago in 1632 and became one of the first states in 1788. Brick buildings that date back several hundred years are visible on a colonial walking tour, along with landmarks like the architecturally beautiful Maryland State House (which was the young American nation’s capital for a short period of time).
You can also visit breathtaking sites along Chesapeake Bay, which has supported economic activities in the region for hundreds of years. The bay remains a significant part of the local economy and ecosystem.
With such close proximity to the water, as well as local and regional parks and natural historic sites, the outdoors provides countless wonders to explore. Along the shoreline of Chesapeake Bay, you can find water activities like:
