Ocean City, Maryland is home to Chesapeake College and The Gateway Grand
Although community amenities like marinas, golf and fitness facilities remain a big draw for attracting today’s second home buyers, location is still central to how people decide on a second home. One attractive option is a college town. With a second home purchase near a college or university you can really benefit from the intellectual activity of the greater community when you step outside your gated community.
The Institute for Adult Learning at Chesapeake College, for example, offers classes in “Mastering French Wines,” and in “Navigation Charts” and “Electronic Navigation,” where instructor Jerry Friedman shows students how to safely pilot a boat with and without newer gizmos like GPS systems. If you wanted to take up boating as a new hobby, the resources are right there in the community through the connection to the college.
Second home owners can truly enrich their lives on both sides of the gates when they find private communities in these college-connected places. Walk the beach in the morning; experience life-long learning all day long. You’ll even know the best French wine to order with your fresh catch.
