In North Beach, there’s no need to decide between a commuter-friendly community and a beach town retreat.

Less than 20 miles from Upper Marlboro, the neighborhood includes many housing options. Though the community offers condo units with waterfront views, it also has single-family homes immersed in dense greenery. Some streets feel tucked away in the countryside, with narrow streets and vast lots, while others feature sidewalk-lined streets and a beach-town feel. Three-bedroom homes less than 1,000 square feet cost as little as $210,000 for those looking to build a little sweat equity, while condos cost between $250,000 and $450,000. Colonial-style homes over 1,800 square feet with beach access in the backyard cost up to $950,000. Single-family homes are seldom part of a homeowner association, but the Highlands is one HOA option if looking for amenities and private community events.

Part of Calvert County Public Schools, the neighborhood gains access to the fifth-best district in the state, according to Niche. Students start at Windy Hill Elementary, a B-plus-rated school, and transition to A-minus-rated Windy Hill Middle. For high school, students attend Northern High, which earns an A-minus rating and ranks as the second-best high school in the county. Northern High includes more than 45 after-school activities, including clubs for crocheting, filmmaking and dancing.

Pick up a season pass to take in the sunshine all summer along the Chesapeake. If itching to cast a line, the fishing pier is free to residents of Calvert County. For locals that prefer to fish further out, there are slips at the pier’s edge to drop in boats and set sail for anywhere in the bay. To enjoy the tranquility of the water in a more secluded setting, wander through Sunrise Garden off Bay Avenue, a site with small ponds, sculptures and native plants. Once the cold breeze settles in, visit the Bayside History Museum to participate in regular events like trivia, lectures and scavenger hunts. On First Friday, swing by Artworks@7th and browse a gallery of work created by local artists. Every month, the showcased work changes, so residents are always greeted with fresh pieces by different artists.

Where someone might shop depends on the season. From May to October, pick up fresh produce from local vendors at the farmers market along Chesapeake Avenue or from Chesapeake’s Bounty on Bay Avenue. During the fall and winter, a wide selection of groceries is 10 miles away at Dunkirk Gateway, home to Walmart and Giant Food. When in the mood to dine out, Plaza Mexico is a top-rated spot steps from home, known for its margaritas and fajitas. For a spot with farmhouse décor and a relaxed atmosphere, Hook & Vine includes seafood and cocktails less than 2 blocks from the shoreline.

Venturing outside North Beach proves simple, so residents can enjoy the benefits of surrounding cities in their free time. With Annapolis just 25 miles north, shop at national retailers like Lush, Apple and JCPenney at Westfield Annapolis Mall or spots like Nordstrom Rack and Ulta at Annapolis Harbour Center. CalvertHealth Medical Center is less than 15 miles from North Beach, ensuring medical care is always within reach. There is also an urgent care in Dunkirk less than 10 miles away. For public transit, the 820 bus serves the community, providing a direct connection to Washington. The bus stops every 20 minutes, ensuring an easy commute into the nation’s capital. For driving, Route 4 connects to Interstate 495 and Suitland Parkway, allowing residents to reach the city and airport in less than 40 miles.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
