Set on Maryland’s Lower Eastern Shore, 21853 (Princess Anne) blends a small-town, historic core with marshy Chesapeake landscapes and the Manokin River. Summers are warm and humid, winters are mild, and life moves at a coastal pace: kayaking and crabbing from local ramps, birding in nearby wildlife areas, and biking along flat country roads. Downtown’s 18th–19th century architecture, the Teackle Mansion, and community events reflect deep roots, while the University of Maryland Eastern Shore adds college energy and arts. Essentials are close—Food Lion, Royal Farms, the Somerset County Library, Ledo Pizza, and the Washington Inn & Tavern—with broader shopping and gyms 15–20 minutes north in Salisbury via US‑13. Manokin River Park and campus greens offer space for picnics and dog walks, and evenings skew to laid‑back taverns and campus performances. According to Zillow’s market trends, recent median asking rent in 21853 has hovered around $1,200 per month, with most listings between about $900 and $1,500; a generally family- and pet-friendly choice with quiet streets and outdoor access.
