Baker Park offers tree-lined streets west of Frederick
Cradled to the south by a crescent-shaped park of the same name, Baker Park is Frederick’s snapshot of nature just west of downtown. This planned community’s streets fan out from central Frederick into a grid structure, where most homes have green space between them. Yards host the occasional European Beech or Scarlet Oak tree. Narrow, concrete sidewalks are well-maintained and easily walkable.
Tall trees line most of the streets in the Baker Park neighborhood.

Housing architecture blends elevation and leafy charm
Homes in Baker Park take inspiration from their European ancestors. Pitched roofs, window shutters and brick are all present with these Colonial, Italian and Spanish Revivals, whose facades are slightly obscured by mature trees. For homes slightly elevated above street level, tiny staircases branching off the sidewalk lead to porches whose stairs follow suit. The number of bedrooms in each home varies widely, as does the year built. “There’s lots of pre-war homes with great character, lots and scale,” says Drew Hopley, owner of LIVE Frederick Group at Keller Williams Realty Center. Some of the more antiquated-looking revivals were constructed in the early twentieth century, with others are from the 1950s or 1970s. The longer-standing revivals average from $500,000 to $700,000, while smaller, compact townhomes go for slightly less than $500,000.
Although Baker Park homes range in style and size, colonials tend to dominate the market.
The homes in Baker Park are surrounded by the natural beauty of the Cascade Mountains.

Baker Park offers community space for recreation and music
When students need a break, there's Baker Park. A mile from end to end, the park hosts live music on its band shell and Fourth of July fireworks. All can make use of multiple baseball fields and a playground. On the northwestern tip sits a cluster of trees hugging the winding Carroll Creek Path. “In the summer, people go to the Alive at Five on Thursdays at Carroll Creek,” Hopley says, referring to the fundraiser that offers drinks and music. South along the path is Culler Lake, whose still waters are gently interrupted by fountains at its center.
The monument at Baker Park is one of Frederick's most recognizable landmarks.
