There’s something about the Broadneck Peninsula that settles into your heart long before you ever call it home. Maybe it’s the way the mornings feel softer near the water, or how neighbors wave when you’re walking the dog, or the way the Magothy looks when the sun sets just right.

Living here feels familiar. Comforting. Like the kind of place where kids play lacrosse in the street, where families gather at the marina after a long week, and where you always see someone you know at the local grocery store. It’s a slice of Annapolis life that balances small-town warmth with the beauty of the Chesapeake with commutable proximity to Washington, DC and Baltimore.

And if you’re exploring this area as a future home, I’m excited to give you a closer look.

A Lifestyle Loved by Locals

Marinas and shoreline everywhere
Whether you’re boating out of the Cape St. Claire marina or grabbing a slip at Podickory Point, this community is shaped by water. Sunrise paddles, weekend cruises, and lazy summer raft-ups are just part of life.

Trails that make you want to slow down
Broadneck Park, the biking trail along College Parkway, the B&A Trail, and quiet neighborhood loops all offer peaceful places to walk, bike, or take in the seasons.

Top-notch schools and strong community pride
Families often choose Broadneck for its highly regarded schools, and it’s not uncommon to see local teams filling the fields on weeknights. There's a shared pride in watching our kids grow up here.

Local traditions that make it feel like home
The local Homecoming Parade, the Cape St. Claire Strawberry Festival, the Ulmstead 4th of July parade, the Deep Creek Boat Parade, and local holiday markets let neighbors come together in the most local of ways.

It’s a lifestyle shaped by connection — to nature, to community, and to each other.

Real Estate Snapshot: What You’ll Find

The Broadneck Peninsula offers a little bit of everything, which makes it welcoming for first-time buyers, growing families, luxury waterfront estate, downsizers, and everyone in between.

Here’s a quick look:

Charming Cape homes
Cape St. Claire is known for its variety: Originally built in the 1950s and 1960s, there are modest ranchers to beautifully updated waterfront retreats. Cape St. Claire offers water access through private community beaches, marinas, and a boat ramp for residents.

Water-privileged communities
Neighborhoods like Atlantis, Ulmstead Estates, Shore Acres, and Amberley offer access to marinas, beaches, boat ramps, and scenic community spaces. Each neighborhood has it’s own feel and amenities but the appeal is to be able to get out on the water quickly.

Townhome and condo options
Perfect for those seeking low-maintenance living without giving up the Annapolis lifestyle.

Renovated ranchers and split-levels
Ideal for right-sizers or families wanting flexible layouts.

Current pricing ranges (approximate)
