More than any other part of East Beach, the Bay Front is the area that truly exemplifies the historic villages and towns of the East Coast, and in particular, the Tidewater region. The interplay between traditional architectural elements and the natural landscape bring the coastal character of East Beach to life. It is here that residents and guests come to enjoy the long stretch of beach along the Bay, by way of the many paths and bay front greens. Bay front greens provide both visual and physical access to the bay, and also provide space for games and activities, such as the giant chessboard on the bay front green next to the Bay Front Club.

This lovely tree-lined street is the heart of the neighborhood. The street is graced with classic manor homes that are zoned for mixed use – either residential or commercial – and give rise to a rich and varied character along its length. When the development is complete, two public squares will define addresses along the Avenue. The westernmost square at Shore Drive will be flanked by mixed-use buildings, and serve as the retail center and gateway into the neighborhood. On the eastern end, the avenue splits around a civic site framed by attached and detached houses. A series of parks along the north and south streets connect Pleasant Avenue to the Chesapeake Bay and Pretty Lake.

The marinas along Pretty Lake Avenue provide the backdrop for the Pretty Lake area of East Beach, a mixed-use waterfront area currently under construction. Inspired by the historic downtown of Annapolis, the Pretty Lake area will feature a mix of shops, restaurants, condominiums, townhomes, and detached houses looking out over the marinas. Broad sidewalks will encourage plenty of window-shopping, while the marinas themselves are the perfect gathering place for boating enthusiasts and those just out for a stroll.

The North-South Streets in East Beach have a character all their own, with each street different from the next. Cottages, townhomes, brownstones, and a variety of lot sizes and types provide diversity and visual interest. The style of the homes changes as you go from north to south, depending on the landscape. Porches and front yards encourage visiting between neighbors. Small, informal parks with mature trees and landscaping are connected by meandering paths. And the streets themselves connect the Chesapeake Bay and the marinas at Pretty Lake, with each waterfront within easy walking distance.

The westernmost portion of East Beach, adjacent to Shore Drive, will feature a mix of retail, commercial and residential space, which will be designed to bring the excitement and convenience of urban living into the neighborhood. This area is planned to incorporate a mixture of retail shops, convenient amenities, restaurants, offices and perhaps a hotel.
