Before you pick a neighborhood
What I tell families heading here
- TIP 01
If you're looking in Calvert County, test the Thomas Johnson Bridge at commute time.
- TIP 02
Waterfront homes can mean flood zones and higher insurance. We'll check before you fall in love.
- TIP 03
Some rural homes have wells and septic systems. I'll make sure the right inspections are in your contract.
Schools
Comparing schools
Every family weighs schools differently. I'll point you to official school district boundaries and state report cards so you can compare for yourself, and I'll make sure the homes we look at are zoned where you want them.
Your base's School Liaison Officer is another great resource. They can help with enrollment, transfers, and special programs.
School assignments can change. Always confirm a home's assigned schools with the school district.
