There are many established communities in Maryland that offer condos and homes for resale. But a newly built house offers homeowners the options of customization, plus the comfort of knowing that the maintenance-free lifestyle of a 55+ community extends to less home maintenance. Here are five communities in Maryland that offer new builds.
Bay Bridge Cove – Stevensville, MD
Low $300s – High $300s
For those who are dreaming of a shore lifestyle, Bay Bridge Cove offers attached homes on Kent Island. Just on the other side of the Bay Bridge from Annapolis, the 55+ community developed by McKee Builders will have 273 attached homes that range from 1,400 to 1,700 square feet.
The community has a brand-new clubhouse, outdoor pool, and tennis courts, but the real appeal of Bay Bridge Cove is the island. Active adult residents will enjoy riding bikes on the Kent Island Bike Trails, bird watching, and boating, all with easy access to Annapolis, Washington, D.C. and the Baltimore-Washington International Airport.
