Where to live in Calvert county?

New to the board. Need a little help if you'd be so kind. I am looking to move to Calvert County. Can I get some advice on best locations? Is it worth my drive to the Pax Naval base to live in Huntington? What about southern Calvert County neighberhoods? The only area I've heard to stay away from is the Ranch Estates. Thanks in advance.

Half the people on the forums live in Ranch Club. Stay away from White Sands. Very ghetto.

Does Sleuth live in White Sands? I'm embarrassed.

Why does the Ranch Club have this negative image?

Huntingtown is a bit of a drive to Pax - with traffic and all, you're probably better off getting closer in. If you work at Pax, the very best place to live, IMO, is south of the base. Everyone else is coming from the north so it makes your commute a lot easier during rush hour.

Lots of folks live in Prince Frederick and commute to Pax - they'll get on here shortly and tell you all about it.

We've had several people come on looking for information and saying others have told them to stay away from the Ranch Club. When I wanted to buy there, I got the same thing from practically everyone I talked to - except the people that actually live there. THEY said it was a great place.

So I'm just curious.

It's not really a negative image. Just that every house in the Ranch Club is built on a hill or in a canyon. A little exageration, but mostly true. And you have to pay fees every year for the priviledge of living in a private community. I live in Drum Point, also a private community. We don't have the fees the Ranch Club has, but we are still paying a special tax to have our roads brought up to county standards so we can turn them over to the county. The Ranch Club is doing the same thing.

I used to live with the low lifes in the CRE. The HOA is terrible, so I sold and moved to the upper class (Leonardtown).
