A suburban Frederick lifestyle in a natural setting

With the Catoctin Mountains in the distance on one side and the charming city of Frederick beckoning on the other, the Clover Hill neighborhood’s allure is a mixture of seclusion and accessibility. “People come to Clover Hill for the lot sizes and for the park community association,” John Heydon, a Realtor with Betsy Cain Properties at Mackintosh Inc. and the President of the Clover Hill Civic Association says. “Clover Hill residents are right next to Downtown Frederick but don’t have to pay city taxes, which is also a draw.” The advent of a regional commuter rail line in the past few decades made traveling the roughly 50 miles to Baltimore and Washington, D.C., quick and easy. This newfound commuter option brought continued growth to a once rural, detached area of Frederick County. Developers responded with concentrated, high-density planned subdivisions.

4-mile commute to Downtown Frederick, 54 miles to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport

For commuters, Downtown Frederick is a 4-mile commute from Clover Hill. For those looking to use public transportation to and from downtown, Frederick County offers transit services that Clover Park residents can take from the Frederick Community College stop, 1 mile from the neighborhood. For those looking to commute to Washington, D.C., the MARC Commuter Rail runs from Downtown Frederick to Washington D.C. on weekday mornings and afternoons. Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is a 54-mile drive, while the nearest hospital, Frederick Health (ER), is 3 miles away.

Dining in Downtown Frederick

On one side of Yellow Springs Road, residents can still find farmland and wide-open spaces. A Dunkin’ Donuts and a McDonald's on the other side of the neighborhood reflect the area’s development. Because Clover Hill is exclusively a residential neighborhood, it is necessary to travel outside the neighborhood for retail and dining opportunities. Downtown Frederick, which is known for its boutiques, craft breweries and food scene, is a few miles away. “There are 40-plus restaurants that people enjoy in Downtown Frederick,” Heydon says. One of the favorites is The Wine Kitchen on the Creek, which serves up steak, seafood and vegetarian dishes with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Another popular spot is Thacher and Rye, which has been featured in the Washington Post for its Mid-Atlantic Cuisine and its Chef Bryan Voltaggio. A Food Lion located farther down Yellow Springs Road is available for grocery shopping.

From Clover Hill Civic Association’s private park to Gambrill State Park

Clover Hill Civic Association maintains a private, 13-acre park in the eastern part of the neighborhood. The park has typical recreational amenities like basketball courts and baseball fields and a quirky attraction in the form of a “fairy tree." Legend has it that a sprite spirit makes its home there. To those considering harvesting a neighboring Hawthorn or ash tree with its thick, twisted trunks, "beware." Cutting down one will result in the sprite unleashing a torrent of bad luck.Even novice nature lovers will take notice of the neighborhood’s abundant beauty in all its forms. Ruby-hued Japanese maples populate many front yards, especially stunning in early spring. The Little Tuscarora Creek provides a pleasant score with the chirping of native birds and communing of other wildlife as the creek winds through Clover Hill.Nearby natural recreational areas include the almost 6,000-acre Catoctin Mountain Park and the 1,200-acre ridgeline Gambrill State Park a few miles away. Visitors to Catoctin Mountains Park, be warned. While the park offers much, this former WPA project is the site of Camp David and access is restricted during presidential visits. Gambrill State Park is loved for its 16 miles of trails – visitors should bring their hiking boots, mountain bike or even horse.

From the Annual Holiday Party to Doggie Swim Day

“People really enjoy our Annual Holiday Party in the part and subsequent Santa event,” Heydon says. The active residents’ group also hosts activities and events like Rocks and Reels, a Kite Flying Day, an Easter egg hunt and Doggie Swim Day – when pooches can jump on the park pool at the end of the season.

Frederick Community College right down the road

The eastern part of the neighborhood also borders the campus of Frederick Community College, offering residents educational, recreational and even entertainment opportunities. The elegant melodies of classical music often envelop the campus, thanks to the live music program held at the Jack B. Kussmaul Theater.
