Edgewater

About this city

Also known as: The South River Community

Edgewater is an affluent, highly scenic coastal residential city situated beautifully along the southern banks of the South River and the shores of the Chesapeake Bay in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Positioned just minutes south of the historic capital of Annapolis, the city developed from an early colonial tobacco shipping port and ferry crossing into a premier maritime enclave. Edgewater features an exceptional wealth of deep-water creeks, pristine wooded shorelines, and extensive private and public yachting marinas. It offers a sophisticated and active waterfront suburban lifestyle within the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area, tightly embracing its rich colonial history, sailing culture, and estuarine marine ecology.
