Welcome to our site, where you will learn a bit more about the Maryland area in order to make your home search a pleasant experience.

At Distinguished Properties, you will be working with a well-educated Sales Associate who is familiar with all of the different markets that our beautiful Chesapeake Bay area has to offer. We are a group of native Maryland residents. We enjoy sharing our heritage and history with new prospective Marylanders, while proudly representing many high quality locales.

Annapolis and the surrounding area is really a "destination" location for families, retirees, and singles looking for more than just a place to live. The area, while offering an easy and pleasant commute to Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, MD., is selected for the amenities as much as the history and beauty of the area. After a day's work, you can still take a Sail, play a round of golf, horseback ride, or just sit by the waterside and decompress from that business day. Your weekends can be filled with so many activities, you will need to prioritize!

You can also choose from fishing and crabbing at your private or community pier, to shopping the Historic District, touring our many galleries, or our historic sites such as the U.S. Naval Academy or Maryland State House. Many County parks, the B&A Bike/Hike Trail, even bayside Sandy Point Park offer outdoor exploration. Spend a day fishing on the Chesapeake Bay.

Our beautiful location is also a smooth ride to many stunning Ocean resorts, most under two hours drive.

Annapolis is home to the world's largest Power and Sailboat Shows, many festivals throughout the summer and outdoor free concerts from Jazz to Classical. One ride on the water taxi will help you to understand why the "destination" you have fallen in love with, will be your home, too.

Find My Dream Home! What Is My Home Worth? Help Me Relocate

Maryland has been called the Old Line State, the Free State and America in Miniature, but – since Massachusetts got to it first – it has never been called the Bay State. This is ironic, since the one geographical feature that has defined its economy and the way of life of most Marylanders is the great Chesapeake Bay, but there you have it.

Still, despite the fact that it isn't the official Bay State, Maryland is primarily famous for the Chesapeake and all the things it can provide, like ports, sailing, and scrumptious Chesapeake Bay blue crabs. All this you can find in abundance in Anne Arundel County, the third oldest among Maryland's 23 counties and seat of its state capital, Annapolis.

Here you will see and feel the deep-seated connection of the Bay to the lives of everyone in the community, and how it has influenced everything about it through the years – from the way the streets were laid out to the kind of food that's usually served on the dinner table. A nautical area with a seemingly endless stretch of coastline, Annapolis and most of the other communities in Anne Arundel County are characterized by waterfront homes, miles and miles of docks, and boats, boats wherever you may look.

Also, as to be expected in one of the oldest communities in one of the country's first states, the past here is still very much a part of the present. A charming blend of the old and the new, Annapolis and Anne Arundel County real estate will tickle your imagination, soothe your weary spirits and inspire you to dream. We at Distinguished Properties bid you welcome and invite you to discover and explore these wonderful bayside communities.
