Anne Arundel County is known as the “land of pleasant living.” Nearly 500,000 residents call Anne Arundel County home. Our superior quality of life on the Chesapeake Bay, our rich heritage, and proximity to Baltimore and Washington, D.C. make the County a great place to live, work and raise a family. With over 534 miles of shoreline, the Country furnishes waterfront living to many residential communities. The County is naturally known for boating and water sports, fishing, crabbing, water skiing, sailing and swimming. But that’s just the beginning. For nature lovers, there are 2 state parks, over 70 county parks, and several nature preserves. We also have numerous greenways, including the 13-mile Baltimore and Annapolis Trail where walkers, runners, bicyclists and equestrians pass sunny mornings and afternoons. Birdwatchers can spot everything from geese to swans to heron, egrets and eagles. Annapolis, the State Capital, has been named one of the 10 best places to live in the United States. The city's historic district is a major tourist attraction and gathering place for dining, shopping and entertainment.
