"This is absolutely one of the premier neighborhoods in Annapolis," said Barbara Smith, who lives in the community.
Neighbors said they were sad and upset by the deaths.
"It's very scary," said Jean Paterson, who lives on Goodrich Road. "We've never had any problems before. We've lived here 41 years."
A man who lives on the street but declined to give his name because of job concerns said he'd seen the boy playing outside, throwing a football over the one-story house.
"They seemed very happy," said David Coleman, who lives a few doors away from the couple who lived in the house. "They just recently got over there. I know them because I saw them walking their little dog. I'm just shocked."
Wednesday morning, animal control officials took a small dog from the house.
Maryland property records say the home is owned by Roswitha Colton of Queenstown. Calls to her house were not answered Wednesday.
The July 4th parade sponsored by the Admiral Heights Improvement Association was to have closed off Goodrich Road, allowing kids to ride their bicycles there. But the event, planned for 10 a.m. Saturday, has been moved to Sampson Place, said Sean O'Neill, president of the neighborhood association.
