Easton or Chestertown??

Oxford is also extremely small and there really is nothing there, except some very beautiful homes and the water of course.
It is a beautiful place to visit and we go often, just to walk around and relax, but as far as being convenient... Easton is the closest for anything as far as general shopping,etc.
I don't believe that Oxford even has a grocery store, however, I could be wrong.

I wouldnt move to either one their both hick towns with little oppertunities for a decent paying job. If your a professional you'll be at odds with local yokels If your trying to get to warmer whether keep going south like florida, tx or california if you want cheap housing try texas. But those local yocals will drive you crazy especially if your not from there. Better have a truck and learn about crabs the few that are left from the polluted chesapeke and over fishing. Good luck

Oh yes there is - from Wiki


Kent Island is the largest island in the Chesapeake Bay, and a historic place in Maryland. To the east, a narrow channel known as the Kent Narrows barely separates the island from the Delmarva Peninsula, and on the other side, the island is separated from Sandy Point, an area near Annapolis, by roughly four miles (6.4 km) of water. At only four miles wide, the main waterway of the bay is at its narrowest at this point and is spanned here by the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The Chester River runs to the north of the island and empties into the Chesapeake Bay at Kent Island's Love Point. To the south of the island lies Eastern Bay. The United States Census Bureau reports that the island has 31.62 sq mi (81.92 km²) of land area. [1]
Kent Island is part of Queen Anne's County, Maryland and Maryland's Eastern Shore region. The first English establishment on the island was founded in 1631

I love living on the Eastern Shore

I think he might be a "local yokel" trying to keep you away from his beloved Eastern Shore.




Seriously though,I can't give to much advice about living on the Eastern Shore other than I have a cousin that has lived on Kent Island for over 25 years and loves it. Also the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries has its problems but its still a beautiful body of water that offers alot of recreation boating , fishing ,photography, hunting (if that's your thing) and some other activities that I'm sure I'm forgetting about.

Whenever you decide to retire...goodluck and I hope you find your dream place.
