Pittsville, Maryland

Apple Precision.

Pittsville is a small Wicomico town of about 1,600 sitting on Route 50 between Salisbury and Ocean City · roughly 20 minutes from each. That position has made it one of the best 'split commute' options on the Lower Shore for buyers who work in Salisbury but want easy beach access. The town has its own elementary school, a small downtown, and an active community feel.

Pittsville pricing reflects its strategic in-between location · less expensive than Berlin or Ocean Pines, with comparable commute time to either Salisbury or OC.
