Waterfront Living Near Downtown Havre de Grace

Canvasback Cove is located in the 21078 zip code in Harford County. The community is situated off Market Street in downtown Havre De Grace, with condominiums along Blue Bill Lane, Fountain Street, Girard Street, and Red Head Way.

The neighborhood sits along the Susquehanna River near the point where it meets the Chesapeake Bay. Its waterfront location gives the community a relaxed, vacation-like atmosphere. Bomboy’s Homemade Ice Cream and Market Street Brewery are close to the neighborhood, along with additional restaurants, shops, parks, museums, and waterfront attractions.

Canvasback Cove has a Walk Score of approximately 67, making it more walkable than most Harford County communities.

Interstate 95, Route 40, and the Havre de Grace MARC train station are also within driving distance for buyers who travel throughout the region.

Waterfront Condos with Marina Access

The condominiums in Canvasback Cove were built between 1990 and 2000. Homes range from approximately 930 to 1,700 square feet and typically offer two or three bedrooms. This gives buyers a range of options, from smaller condos that may be easier to maintain to larger units with more living space.

Many of the homes have water views, which contributes to the community’s relaxed, vacation-like atmosphere. Some units include garages, and some come with deeded boat slips. These features vary by property, so buyers should review each listing carefully to understand exactly what is included.

Residents also have access to a community pool. With the waterfront setting, varied condo sizes, and location near downtown Havre de Grace, Canvasback Cove may appeal to buyers looking for a low-maintenance home in a distinctive setting.

What Buyers Should Know

The buildings do not have elevators. A third-floor or upper-level condominium may offer a better view, but residents and visitors will need to use stairs. Buyers should consider how this arrangement fits their current and future mobility needs.

The community is also several decades old. Some homes have been renovated, while others may need updated kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, windows, or mechanical systems.

Canvasback Cove does not provide private yards or a large amount of open green space. Buyers who want a lawn area, or a detached-home setting may find it less suitable.

One of the benefits of living in Canvasback Cove is the selection of waterfront attractions and locally owned businesses nearby.

Concord Point Lighthouse is located at the mouth of the Susquehanna River and is open to visitors seasonally. The surrounding waterfront area provides scenic views and access to the Keeper’s House Museum.
