WORCESTER COUNTY, MD
Ocean Pines, MD Real Estate Apple Precision.
Ocean Pines is the Eastern Shore's largest planned waterfront community · a sprawling 3,500-acre community on the bayside that feels less like a subdivision and more like a small town with its own everything. Sections range from yacht-club waterfront to interior-lot ranchers, and every resident is about 15 minutes from the Ocean City beach without paying the barrier-island price. The market here trades on section, water access, and how recently the home has been updated.
Ocean Pines pricing varies dramatically by section · interior cottage to deep-water boat-slip estate. Section, water access, and recent renovations are the biggest variables.
Chantal Apple serves buyers and sellers in Ocean Pines, Worcester County, with the local knowledge and global reach of Atlantic Shores Sotheby's International Realty.
