A waterfront community on the Severn River
The nautical community of Herald Harbor has wide access to the Severn River, a few family-owned shops and restaurants and a neighborly atmosphere. “It’s just a really peaceful and very community-oriented place,” says Elizabeth Patterson, area resident and Realtor with Next Step Realty. “I’ve lived in other places where I didn’t even know my neighbors, but here, I have the best neighbors.” A variety of summer cottages and waterfront estates dot the neighborhood’s forested landscape. The average list price for homes is about $630,000, which is lower than in nearby Crownsville but higher than in Arden on the Severn. Families can gather at Herald Harbor Park or spend a day on the water. With local hotspots like Lure’s Bar and Grill or the Herald Harbor Hideaway restaurant, folks gather for a pint or karaoke night.
Herald Harbor is a very nautical community.

Herald Harbor parks and watersports
Located on the widest part of the Severn River Sanctuary, Herald Harbor residents take advantage of the water throughout the warmer months. Whether boating, fishing, swimming or paddling around in kayaks, there is always something to do outside. For those without private docks, Smith's Marina on Ridgley Road provides boaters with a safe harbor for their watercraft. “While most suburbs feel like a blueprint, here the main roads don’t feel congested, and the open water makes everything feel more spacious. It’s like a breath of fresh air,” Patterson says. Herald Harbor Park on Kyle Road has a range of sports courts and a playground. As a DNR Program Open Space project, the park is supported by the Department of Natural Resources to provide playscapes and outdoor recreation to the local subdivision.

Summer cottages and waterfront estates on the Severn River
Quiet streets wind through mature forests, leading to tightly packed summer cottages and sprawling properties with private docks and small beaches on the Severn River. “The area used to be marketed as a summer-home community,” Patterson says. In the 1920s, “You could buy lots of land by purchasing a newspaper subscription. People would buy multiple subscriptions to get multiple lots. So, you’ve got small lots, big lots, it’s not like a planned community.” Off-water, minimalist bungalows and family split-levels neighbor larger Colonial-inspired residences. Depending on their size and proximity to the water, Herald Harbor housing prices range from $400,000 to over $1 million. For those that need upgrades or complete renovations, a few properties can be found for around $250,000. Because of occasional high-rising water and heavy rainfall, some homeowners may be required to purchase flood insurance.

Like many Renaissance fairs, guests will dine on a roast turkey leg, sip on some mead, and still be home in time to catch a shoreline sunset. The Anne Arundel County Fairgrounds in nearby Crownsville hosts the County Fair, which features carnival rides, deep-fried foods, flea markets, tractor pulls and a rodeo.

Access to Baltimore and Annapolis
Although Herald Harbor feels tucked away from everything, “One thing I love is that it’s really accessible. You can get out and go anywhere,” Patterson says. “You’re thirty minutes from Baltimore, fifteen/twenty minutes from Annapolis, and you’re still living in a nice retreat in the woods, with a beach escape just minutes from your doorstep.” With access to Interstate 97, locals may head north to major amenities, such as Downtown Baltimore, which is about 24 miles north. The University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center is roughly 12 miles north, while the Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport is about 18 miles north.
