A classic Navy town on the shore of Chesapeake Bay

Military Rural Coastal Nature Outdoors Boating Fishing

A quintessential military town, the community of Lexington Park grew up around Patuxent Naval Air Station shortly after the base was established in the 1940s. Today, the base employs around 20,000 people, most of whom live in Lexington Park or nearby, making the military a major economic and cultural driver for the area.

The landscape is mostly filled by suburban-style neighborhoods, with a rental market including apartments and houses of every shape and size. A few shopping centers scattered throughout the community cater to the residents’ day-to-day needs, mostly located along Three Notch Road and Great Mills Road.

Outdoorsy types will love the easy access to Saint Mary’s State Park, and the close proximity to Chesapeake Bay opens up endless opportunities for boating and fishing.
