Neavitt sits on a small peninsula along Maryland's Eastern Shore in Talbot County, where the Choptank River meets the Chesapeake Bay. With just 161 year-round residents and a median age of 60.1, it's a quiet waterfront retirement community. The 1.94 square mile area includes 159 homes, but only 76 are occupied year-round. Another 59 sit vacant for seasonal use, making this 37% a vacation community.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no street delivery anywhere in Neavitt. The post office maintains 119 PO Boxes for 76 households, a 1.57 adoption rate that shows service extending beyond the immediate area. Nearby waterfront properties and boaters use Neavitt boxes. Two rural carrier routes handle what limited delivery exists, but most residents collect mail at the post office.
Street names tell the waterfront story: Middle Point Road, Elston Shore Road, Long Point Road, Duck Cove Lane, and Balls Creek Road. These roads lead to private docks and waterfront homes rather than neighborhoods. With median household income of $126,174 and home values around $516,300, Neavitt attracts retirees and second-home owners seeking Chesapeake Bay access.
Nearly everyone here (97.5%) is white, and 62.9% hold bachelor's degrees or higher. It's an educated, affluent community. Only 1 child under 18 lives here. The few year-round residents include 23 federal workers and 28 people in transportation (likely maritime-related). It's not a working village anymore. It's a place people come to retire by the water.
All mail must be addressed to a PO Box. The format is:
