Stevensville delivers an easygoing Bay lifestyle with big-city access, positioned at the gateway to the Chesapeake via the iconic Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Minutes from Annapolis and within Queen Anne's County, it’s a practical launch point for commutes and weekend adventures alike, with everyday conveniences in nearby Chester and cultural outings down the Shore in Easton.
Outdoors, the setting does a lot of the talking. Locals log sunrise walks at Terrapin Nature Park, bike and jog the island-spanning Cross Island Trail, and cool off at the sandy shoreline of Matapeake Clubhouse & Public Beach. Kayakers, anglers, and birders all find reasons to linger—osprey, herons, and sunsets steal the show.
Families appreciate strong local schools in the Queen Anne’s County system, including Kent Island High School and Stevensville Middle School, plus story times, makerspaces, and community programs at the Kent Island Branch Library. Historic storefronts and restored landmarks frame a walkable center, while waterfront restaurants and seasonal festivals keep the calendar full.
Housing ranges from classic island cottages and established neighborhoods to newer cul-de-sacs, many with quick access to US‑50/301. Whether your wish list leans toward a backyard for crabbing gear or a short hop to a boat ramp, Stevensville’s mix of coastal recreation and commuter convenience is tough to beat.
