Queen Anne, MD (CDP)

Queen Anne is a small, quiet community set along the Patuxent River in Prince George's County. Home to around 1,400 residents, it offers a relaxed, semi-rural atmosphere with roots stretching back to the 1700s, when it served as a colonial river port. Over time, the busy docks gave way to calm residential lanes and protected green spaces, creating an appealing retreat for anyone looking for extra breathing room.

Much of the waterfront is now preserved within Patuxent River Park, giving residents easy access to walking trails, fishing spots, kayak launches, and a local nature center. While the area feels peaceful and secluded, Queen Anne Road provides a quick drive into neighboring Bowie and Upper Marlboro for shopping, dining, and daily errands. Families are part of Prince George's County Public Schools, with students attending Pointer Ridge Elementary, Benjamin Tasker Middle, and Bowie High School.
