Heritage Harbour sits in Annapolis, Maryland, in a quiet spot near the scenic Chesapeake Bay and close to many historic sites, and folks in the community get to enjoy a peaceful, well-landscaped neighborhood with all sorts of home choices, from single-family houses and duplexes to condos and townhomes, and the place has over 1,600 residences and lots of green space, so it's easy to find room to stretch out or walk the dog since it's pet-friendly, too. There are homes from one to four bedrooms, ranging from 800 to 3,000 square feet, and people can buy or sell within the neighborhood, which means it fits a lot of different needs and lifestyles, whether someone wants a cozy spot or something bigger for visiting family.
The big Lodge serves as the center for events and meet-ups, with both an indoor and outdoor pool, a big auditorium for shows, meeting rooms, a library, game rooms, an arts and crafts area, a woodworking shop, a fitness center, a boutique, coffee corner, and places for Bingo and music. Heritage Harbour gives folks a nine-hole executive golf course with its own pro shop and plenty of lessons, so golf lovers have things to do, and there are tennis courts, including ones that turn into pickleball courts, as well as bocce ball, horseshoes, and a pier with boat slips right on the South River, and some residents like to kayak or spend time by the water.
