Havre de Grace, MD Homes & Real Estate

Havre de Grace is a small city in Harford County, Maryland, where the Susquehanna River flows into the top of the Chesapeake Bay. Its historic downtown has older homes, shops and restaurants close to the water, and a waterfront promenade runs along the edge of the river.

US-40 and Route 7 pass through, and I-95 is close for commuters heading to Baltimore or Delaware. The city has a MARC Penn Line station, which gives riders a train option toward Baltimore and Washington, and Aberdeen and Bel Air are both a short drive.

The waterfront is the highlight. The promenade, Tydings Park and the marinas give residents places to walk and watch the boats, Concord Point Lighthouse stands at the river’s edge, and the Havre de Grace Decoy Museum tells the story of local carving. Susquehanna State Park lies just north with trails and the historic Rock Run Mill, and the Lock House Museum sits on the old canal path.

Housing includes historic houses and rowhomes in the downtown blocks, single-family neighborhoods built over many decades, waterfront and water-view homes, and condominiums. Homes close to the river and bay can be in flood zones, so we check the zone and the insurance cost for each address.

Waterfront homes have a few details that do not show in photos, such as flood zone, bulkhead condition, dock rights and association fees.
