Community Overview

The Hamlets at South River Colony is the age-restricted (55+) section within the larger South River Colony master community in Edgewater, Anne Arundel County. The community sits along the South River — the same waterway that runs past Heritage Harbour to the north — in the Londontowne/Edgewater area, providing a small-town, waterfront-adjacent character distinct from more amenity-dense communities.

With fewer than 200 homes, The Hamlets is one of the smaller 55+ communities in this market. Residents of the Hamlets section gain access to South River Colony's broader community amenities, including piers, parks, and trails along the river, while maintaining an intimate neighborhood character. This is a resale-only community — no new construction is available.

Price range: approximately $500,000–$800,000, with waterfront-adjacent lots commanding premiums. The community is close to Rt. 2, providing easy access to Annapolis (10 min north) and DC/Baltimore via the Rt. 50 interchange.

What Buyers Need to Know

The Hamlets is best suited for buyers who want waterfront-adjacent character, a quiet neighborhood scale, and proximity to downtown Annapolis without the density of Heritage Harbour or the price points of Two Rivers. The South River Colony setting includes trails and river access that Heritage Harbour also offers — but at lower home prices in exchange for fewer on-site amenities.

HOA structure is layered: residents pay a Hamlets-section HOA plus the South River Colony master HOA. Confirm both fee amounts before purchase. The combined HOA is estimated at $250–$350/month — lower than Heritage Harbour's combined fees for comparable-sized homes.
