About Mount Vernon

Set along the Wicomico River on Maryland’s lower Eastern Shore, Mount Vernon is a peaceful waterfront community shaped by open farmland and tidal creeks. Spread across a quiet peninsula in Somerset County, the area is full of scenic country lanes, spacious residential lots, and easy river access. It offers plenty of privacy and room to breathe, while Mount Vernon Road keeps you connected to nearby hubs like Princess Anne and Salisbury.

Community life revolves around a few familiar anchors, including Webster’s Cove Marina, local churches, and the volunteer fire company. Historic landmarks like Grace Episcopal Church add to the area's rural charm, while the surrounding waterways make it a natural fit for boaters, anglers, and anyone who loves coastal living. It is a relaxed, friendly pocket of the Eastern Shore where neighbors wave as you drive by and the water is never more than a short trip down the road.
