[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wardour is in West Annapolis, it is a small neighborhood and the two houses on the market right now are 3 mil and 7 mil. 
There are other houses in West Annap that are cheaper.  If you want a traditional neighborhood close in downtown, Murray Hill would be a good option.

Do you plan on doing privates?

What type of neighborhood do you want, what is your budget?

We have been in Annapolis for the past 13 years.  I lived in Alexandria and DC before that.  The biggest sacrifice is restaurants.  Food in general sucks here.  A lot of average, a lot of really bad and a couple of places that are worth it.   Biggest benefit outside of COVID is access to BWI.  
Let me know if you have specific questions happy to answer.

There are also smaller houses in Wardour that have gone for under 1m though it is certainly a more expensive area. West Annapolis can be great, just be careful to stick in the good elementary school district.

I'm sorry the PP seems to not like the Annapolis dining scene, I think its great--though of course, you're in a much smaller city. The below are slighted dated, but  give a good sense of the general vibe:

Outside of Flament all of the places on both of those list would be run of the mill establishments anywhere else.  And Flament is the only where you are going to sit down and have a full portion meal. [/quote]

Wow, if you’re the same PP I was responding to who thinks the main amenity of Annapolis is BWI for Pete’s sake—I hope you move soon. What a miserable way to look at where you live. [/quote]

I didn’t say the main Attraction was BWI it is a big benefit.  Outside of Covid we do a lot of last minute trips.

As far as food we generally go out in DC.  My wife and I are both great cooks so it isn’t the end of the world.  It just baffles my mind when people try to say Annapolis has all of these great places to eat when it really doesn’t.  [/quote]

I'll drop it after this, but you did say that the biggest benefit to Annapolis is access to BWI, which is what immediately made me roll my eyes.

OP, obviously the quality of food and drink scenes is a matter of personal preference. No one can fact-check me on this of course, but I am lucky enough to have eaten at some of the best restaurants in country as well as a handful of the top in the world--and I have still enjoyed man damn fine meals in Annapolis. Dining out (used to be) a big part of my social life, and I believe the key to enjoying any city is to meet its food and bar scene where it is. Annapolis has some great offerings, as well as PLENTY of spots that offer what I find most important--good food and strong drinks at reasonable prices along with a cozy atmosphere to be with my husband and/or friends.

Annapolis doesn't have the world class dining scene that some big cities do, as I indicated when sending along those initial articles, but does boast some great spots to enjoy an evening out if important to you. I think the PP's acknowledgement that many others enjoy Annapolis's dining scene speaks for itself, despite what must be his own far-superior standards. :)

Anyways, thats that--like I said, dining out is important to me and it case it is for you as well, didn't want to let PP's negativity stand alone. [/quote]

I will take your bait.  Name one place in Annapolis that if you had friends visiting you would say you have to eat “here” and know they will be impressed.

What dam fine meals have you had?  If you had said I have had some nice or ok meals, I could buy that, but dam fine means they are beyond expectation or really stand out.[/quote]

We live in DC but come to Cantler's at least three times a season with friends. Yum![/quote]
