The planned residential community of Ocean Pines encompasses 3500 acres, with over nine miles of waterfront and waterways, twelve miles of canals and 67 miles of surfaced roads. There are 7000 platted lots in the community, with 4500 homes built or under construction. Homes are available on wooded or waterfront lots, ranging in price from $70,000 to $400,000. A seven-member Board of Directors determines operational and fiscal policy for the Ocean Pines Association, Inc. and appoints a general manager to oversee its day-to-day operations. The community has its own police and fire departments, as well as a yacht club, swim and racquet club, beach club and golf and country club. Just outside Ocean Pines is a commercial area with a wide range of businesses which serve the community.
Ocean Pines is now undergoing a major expansion, with 1,600 additional lots being developed by Balfour Holdings, in partnership with leading resort builders. New amenities include a marina and nine hole golf course. To preserve wetlands and woodlands 50% of the land area has been set aside as a natural preserve.
