Grocery Shopping In and Around Annapolis, Maryland

Grocery Shopping In and Around Annapolis, Maryland

Where is the nearest grocery store?  That’s a common question that out-of-town buyers often ask when I’m out showing them property in Annapolis, Arnold, Edgewater, Crownsville or Riva.  Distances around town can sometimes be deceptive with all the creeks and inlets and Severn River and Chesapeake Bay often located at what feels like the end of the earth.

If you live in Bay Ridge, Oyster Harbour, Arundel on the Bay, Hillsmere you might have to drive across town to Graul’s Market.  Or if you live in West Annapolis or downtown Annapolis you might need to drive across town to Safeway.  And most of us locals will drive from almost anywhere to shop at Whole Foods Market and the new The Fresh Market.  But if you live along the Bestgate Corridor in Tidewater Colony, Windgate, Rivergate, Sea Breeze, Scott’s Crossing, or Admiral’s Reach you’re in luck because you’ll have you’re pick of grocery stores because you’re only minutes away from them all!
