About Annapolis' Arundel-on-the-bay

Arundel on the Bay - named in honor of our county (Anne Arundel) and our water (The Chesapeake Bay)

The private community of Arundel-on-the-Bay was founded in 1890 and is a lovely, historic small neighborhood in Annapolis, Maryland. Located on the peninsula of Annapolis Neck, just south of historic Annapolis, Arundel juts out into the picturesque Chesapeake Bay, one of our nation’s finest natural treasures.

Back in the 1800s, Arundel-on-the-Bay was just a tiny post village and resort area. The Chesapeake boarded its east and south sides and Fisherman’s Creek on its west side, made this area ideal for recreation. Water sports of all kinds are here… from boating and fishing to swimming and just walking the beach. Today, Arundel is a year-round haven for folks looking for a great place to live and raise a family. Still a small village of only 350 homes, this private community owns an exclusive beach, its own docking facilities and a boat launching ramp.

Arundel-on-the-Bay is designated as a special tax district. Each year a portion of property taxes are reserved by Anne Arundel County for continuing improvements and maintenance of the neighborhood’s magnificent Chesapeake shoreline. This is just one of the little advantages of living here.

Of course there is life outside of Arundel-on-the-Bay . Historic downtown Annapolis is just a few minutes away. And, the city of Annapolis provides all the amenities you may require.
