Thanks everyone for your help. : )

And WAY too many side streets, traffic, speeders; seems like one wrong turn and you are lost forever!!!

The good thing about that is if anyone comes into CRE to try and burglarize a house, by the time they find their way out, the police will be at the few exits to catch them!
In these forums, you will find a lot of negative posts.... that's actually a good sign... would you want to live in a community where no one cares? In CRE, a lot of members are very active and have no problem voicing concerns -- that's how things get done and get better.
I think the biggest advantages of CRE are....
A variety of homes to choose from, including some very affordable. A 100-acre size lake. OK, you shouldn't swim in it. Is there any lake in MD that you would actually swim in? I go to pools -- that's why they have chlorine in them! And the Cove Point pool-waterpark-recreation complex just 5 minutes away is WONDERFUL. Kayak/Canoe in the lake and you will spot many eagles, heron, osprey, and other waterfowl.... at the same time getting some nature, suntan, and exercise. Fish on the bay beach or drop a jetski in the water. Solomons nightlife and restaurants just 10 minutes away. Lots of nice parks nearby like Calvert Cliffs State Park and Flag Ponds. Nearby shopping. A half-decent community club house for community parties (and cheap to rent for your own party). All in all, neighbors look out for each other. My family has lived there 40 years and never a crime problem.
Schools are pretty darn good. Look at SchoolMatters - Home and compare schools with other areas of Southern MD.
Average price? there is no average. You can get a small rancher on 1/4 acre probably for under $200,000. Or there are larger homes up to about $350,000. If you want a house on the lake or Bay, the price will be a little higher. There are some very big houses on double lots (.66+ acre) that could cost up to $500,000 (if they are ever for sale, which is rare). You will find a lot of houses for sale, but that is not because people want to leave the community.... There are a lot of folks who are in Southern MD temporarily because of the military/contractor type of work and turnover is often because of job changes.
I wanted to see what house are for sale in this sub..I know it is Calvert County..What is the name of the town it is in?
It mainly depends on the area you live in. If you live on the main throughfares (paved roads) you be dealing with vandalism, loud cars and music and speeding. If you are a bit more "off the beaten path" you won't have most of these problems but may end up with a problem neighbor... ie..barking dogs, loud music and in some cases, drugs...
The only real issue we have is the barking dog...
I hope this helps you. You might consider a rent to buy option, that way if you don't like your neighbors, you aren't stuck with them.. But that doesn't prevent one from moving in after you do... Thats the nice thing about living in the country, don't have to deal with any of it..

I think these problems are everywhere. Speeding may be more dangerous on CRE roads because there are a lot of curves which impair visibility. I always drive very careful out of respect for children and people on bicycles.
Aren't you the idiot that wanted to raise the speed limit to 35 MPH?
Much history about the Ranch Club. Used to be a private community with guards. Now opened up. Almost bought a house there 18 years ago. It seems like it depends on which area, street you live on for the rest of your question; I am glad we did not buy in there to put it out bluntly...And WAY too many side streets, traffic, speeders; seems like one wrong turn and you are lost forever!!!
It seems to be a problem neighborhood.
