[quote=Anonymous]People on this board always suggest Davidsonville and I can't understand why?  There is absolutely no diversity, no real shopping or restaurants, the 3 schools that feed from it are not that great and it's mostly McMansions, horse farms, well water and septic tanks, plus unless you go past Edgewater or over near the West River you are landlocked.

I lived in Annapolis for 10 years, near the Key School but we did the local elementary, Hillsmere and was very pleased with it.  We had a very involved PTA that worked very hard at the school so it was a pleasant experience.  If you are planning to do private, I'd look at Bay Ridge and the neighborhoods right before it, communities off of Arundel of the Bay Road, Hillsmere and Hunt Meadow.  There is also a cute neighborhood off of Forest Drive behind Heritage Baptist Church, won't give you water but there is a pool and it's convenient to the highway.  Another idea is up on Riva Road, Riva Trace and the few neighborhoods that are on either side of it, between the high school and Cape St. John.  There is a kinda new neighborhood across from the mall on Bestgate, I think Ehrlich lives there, no water but a pool.  As others have mentioned there's Murray Hill in downtown Annapolis, the neighborhood by the stadium and other pockets in the city.

We moved closer in to Crofton because the traffic just got too overwhelming trying to commute into DC every day so that is why I suggest areas that are going to be nearer the highway and I suggest you pay attention to traffic patterns and how far you really want to be. Severna Park, Arnold, Pasadena and Broadneck are just  too far and too remote to travel into DC everyday for me.  Don't get me wrong, I love Annapolis and once I can retire or can telework at least 3 days a week long term, I will be living back there but the commute is a killer.  The Dillon's bus isn't bad but it's a bus and their isn't a lot of flexibility if you need to get home in the middle of the day.
