The Branded Residences of the Mid-Atlantic
From Virginia Hunt Country to Maryland’s Eastern Shore, these branded residential communities offer luxury living at its very best
The Branded Residences of the Mid-Atlantic
Among the most notable trends in real estate is that of the branded residential community.
Often anchored to a hospitality brand such as a hotel or resort, a branded residential community offers the practical benefits of home ownership combined with the luxuries of the hotel guest experience.
The concept of the branded residence dates back to the 1927 with the opening of The Sherry-Netherland Hotel in New York. Then, in 1985, with the opening of the Four Seasons Residences in Boston, Massachusetts, the concept of the branded residence entered the mainstream, with concepts available all over the world — including many throughout the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States.
From the inspiring vistas of Virginia Hunt Country to the salty environs of Maryland’s Eastern Shore, the branded residences of the Mid-Atlantic offer a unique combination of regional charm and world-class amenities. Additionally, many of the branded residences throughout the Mid-Atlantic offer gracious homesites designed by some of the region’s most acclaimed architects and custom home builders.
In his list of the best branded residences of the Mid-Atlantic, we hope to pique your interest in this emerging segment of the real estate market.
