In addition, I notice the houses there don't have basements, is that the norm or just something for the builders to reduce cost.

Is that area likely to flood??? just wondering. Any comment would be helpful.

thanks a bunch.

Mollee,

I happen to be a homeowner in Mariners Cove and I don't happen to have an issue with flooding, nor did my cul-de-sac have problems with falling trees during Isabel, although some of my neighbors on Oxford did.

We have a crawlspace, and all the homes do come with sump pumps, and in two years our crawlspace has been dry as Arabia. When USAA came out to assess us for Flood Insurance, we were told we didn't need it, and that came from an independent source.

When I walk my dog I see 4 whitetails every morning...and we occasionally see a bald eagle flying overhead. I've got the best neighbors in southern Maryland, and the community is pretty close and are there for each other.

As fate would have it, I am being forced to relocate, and my house will be going on the market shortly. I've got a 5 bedroom Chesapeake, wood floors and a lot of extras. Interested?
