“My agent, Nisha Smithrick, was the ideal agent. We had tried to work with other Baltimore agents over the past year and they were terrible. Nisha was amazing from the get-go. She reached out immediately. She asked questions to understand our specific desires for my son's first home. She presented relevant listing within a day. She made herself available for appointments to fit our schedules. She showed us a great selection of homes. She followed up, gave her honest advice. She then was a great sounding board for creating an offer and negotiating with the seller. She was responsive and proactive through the whole process including to inspections and closing. She answered all our questions thoroughly and quickly. I highly recommend Nisha.”

Essex offers residents a vibrant community with a mix of lively local events, parks, and convenient access to nearby urban amenities, making it an engaging and comfortable place to call home.

Waterfront parks, public boat ramps, and marinas set the tone, while quick access to I-695 and MD-702 keeps commutes to Baltimore close and convenient. Weekends fill quickly: learn to tack and jibe with the Baltimore County Sailing Center, paddle among herons at Marshy Point Nature Center, or tee off with bay views at Rocky Point Golf Course. Nearby Dundalk and Middle River broaden dining and job options, and the wider amenities of Baltimore County are always within reach.
Families appreciate strong school choices: Chesapeake High School, Kenwood High School, and the award-winning magnet Eastern Technical High School anchor academics, while the Essex Branch of the Baltimore County Public Library fuels learning and community events year-round. Aviation buffs look up at Essex Skypark, and boaters treasure long summer evenings on the creeks and coves. Housing spans classic Cape Cods, tidy townhomes, and renovated waterfronts, with prices that compare favorably to many harbor-adjacent neighborhoods. You’ll find a neighborly culture, from youth sports to seasonal festivals, and an easygoing, salt-air pace that still stays connected to regional opportunity.
