Bowleys Quarters is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Baltimore County, Maryland, United States, with a population of 6,755 at the 2010 census.
The area later became a game preserve for waterfowl and a place where presidents and others, including Babe Ruth, came to hunt ducks.
Increased interest in waterfront property in the 1990s, combined with the devastation of Hurricane Isabel, has led to revitalization, with some new homes selling for more than $1 million.
Once predominantly populated by low-income to middle-class families, the community is now highly desirable for waterfront living.
In September 2003, Bowleys Quarters was substantially damaged by Hurricane Isabel and the resulting flood.
According to The Baltimore Sun, Isabel destroyed 210 houses in Bowleys Quarters and caused major damage to 632 others.
