waiting for the haters lol. [/quote]

No hate, but I don’t get the love affair with Severna Park at all. It’s essentially just Pasadena but with a pool in the backyard. Outside of the very thin (and very expensive) waterfront line, all the housing is boring and generic, and the area lacks decent shopping or dining. The schools are great, but there’s other very good schools in Anne Arundel County as well. Unless you have $2M+ to afford a 4-bed waterfront house in a “community” where everyone’s isolated by driveways that are longer than the street itself & more than half the kids attend private schools, then you’re paying extra money to live in a very boring and generic area with very awful summer traffic. The arrogance that you encounter in Severna Park is insane and worse than what you’ll see in even Bethesda sometimes. Lots of people act way wealthier than they are. Some of the neighborhoods feel like a cult as well.

At $1M, I’d much rather look in Crofton, Odenton, Davidsonville, and Edgewater. beautiful homes for $1M in these areas in neighborhoods like Two Rivers, South River Colony, South River Landing, Eagles Passage, the Ridings at North Branch, or Wilson’s Grove. You’re much closer to decent shopping & dining—either in Annapolis or at Waugh Chapel, and you’re closer to water that is accessible to the public. The schools are all very good in these areas as well. Crownsville is also a much nicer area than Severna Park, but I’m not too sure about the schools in that area. [/quote]

"no hate"?? It's just clear you actually haven't lived or spent time in Severna Park. Or Pasadena. There are plenty of affordable homes in Severna Park, Arnold, and Cape St. Claire - we looked at all of these areas. Yes, it's pretty purple rather than typical Maryland blue - but Severna Park voted for Biden. In Pasadena Trump led by 20 or 30 points? People are also far more educated in SP - typical family is a couple both with college and/or grad degrees, very commonly working in federal government (many at the NSA), earning maybe $150-300k per household. Every other house has a boat in the driveway and neighborhood life centers around the swimming pool and the boat dock. Baltimore is 30 min away and DC an hour. Nearly everyone is into fishing, boating, kayaking and everyone is crazy about sports. There's a big community around the environment and protecting the Bay. And yeah, boat guys with Trump flags. The dems don't have flags, but there are actually more of them.  Overall people are way less obsessed with their jobs than in the the DC area and [b]way more down to earth[/b] and just pretty much into their kids and friends. And always the boats.[/quote]

and apparently racist and racist enough to vote in a racist on their council[/quote]
