Huntingtown, MD

Located in northern Calvert County, Huntingtown is a quiet, leafy community that offers plenty of space while staying within easy reach of Annapolis and the Washington area. The area traces its roots back to the late 1600s as a colonial port along Hunting Creek, but today it is known for its rolling hills, spread-out properties, and relaxed pace. With around 3,500 residents, it provides a scenic, small-town atmosphere surrounded by the beauty of Southern Maryland.
