Hi Jamie

Try that and see what you can learn about the Ranch Estates.

There are three major neighborhoods in the southern end of Calvert County:

#1 is Drum Point which is right next to the Ranch Club

#2 is The Ranch Club

#3. White Sands, don't bother, that is an area filled with crime and drugs.

Personally I live in Drum Point and I chose to do this for several reasons.

The Ranch Club is too conjested, their roads are horrible, you have a water bill and their association dues are excessive. (my opinion)

You are buying a house at the right time, it is a buyers' market. Good luck, and welcome and I am sure you will get more responses. I just wanted to give you a jumping start.

If you are smart you will keep watching this thread For all those who accused me of Campaigning. It appears that some who live in CRE believe they are being fee'ed (can say taxed) inappropriately by the neighborhood association.

I don't personally live there but find the numerous threads started by or about residentofcre quite enlightening. She has a lot of insight into the workings of the neighborhood association.

As an individual who lives in White Sands, I am offended that people keep saying it is infested with drugs and crime. The White Sands Community Association has worked hard to clean up the problems and it's people posting stuff on these sites that doesn't help.

Yes, there are still pockets of problems. No, it is not infested with drugs and crimes. White Sands is a community no different than CRE...actually, it's probably better than CRE because we have paved roads and the association fees are much less.

Visit White Sands sometime...go back off the main street and see that there are plenty of hard-working people living in this community.

There are just as many drugs and crimes in both CRE and Drum Point...

I think you should have a police patrol that just goes up and down laurel road, that area is horrible.

I didn't mean to offend you at all, I can only go by the Police reports. yes it is true there are good hardworking people who live in White Sands. I can only go by what I have learned the 20 plus years I have lived here. I apologize if I offended you or anyone for that matter. It wasn't intended, only trying to help give honest information and for that I get a boat load of red karma. Yippeee

For The Ranch Club, you pay $500.00 a year in association dues PLUS the special tax district, why do people still have gravel pot hole filled roads?

Drum Point, $10.00 a year for association dues Plus the special district tax and we have great roads. The majority of our problems is kids who like to destroy others' property. Now people have started keeping eyes and ears open and calling the cops and having those persons caught and arrested right in the middle of doing it.
