Wicomico County, MD

Wicomico County is anchored by Salisbury, the largest city on the Maryland Eastern Shore and the regional center for health care, retail, higher education, and commercial services for the lower Shore. TidalHealth Peninsula Regional Medical Center is a full-service regional hospital. Salisbury University, a University System of Maryland institution with approximately 8,000 students, anchors an academic community that brings cultural programming, athletics, and a younger demographic to the area. The mall, national retailers, and a developing restaurant scene along Route 13 give Wicomico buyers access to amenities that smaller Shore counties lack. The Wicomico River and Nanticoke River provide boating access. Wicomico County Public Schools is one of the larger Shore districts. Hunting opportunities in the southern part of the county, particularly for waterfowl and sika deer in areas adjacent to Dorchester County, attract buyers seeking hunting properties.
