Walkable downtown with historic significance
With its brick sidewalks, townhouses with black shuttered windows and Greek-style government buildings, downtown Frederick looks like a piece of Revolutionary War-era America frozen in time. People live in townhouses and early 20th-century colonials and walk down their front steps to Neapolitan pizza restaurants, microbreweries and wine bars along Carroll Creek. Figures like George Washington and Frederick Douglass passed through here during the early years of the U.S. It’s also the center of a rapidly growing city expanding eastward as demand for housing and access to its public school system grows. “It has a ton going for it. It has a vibrant downtown, shops, restaurants, breweries and distilleries. That kind of walkability is super hard to find in some areas. People call it Alexandria lite,” says Drew Hopley, operator at Live Frederick Group with Keller Williams Realty Centre. “Whether you’re in the city of Frederick, or in the suburbs, people come to downtown for entertainment.”
Many of Downtown Frederick's apartment and retail buildings are decorated with massive murals.

Lively community with merchants and eateries
Neighbors living downtown can walk to shops, restaurants, bars and government buildings. Lining the southern border of downtown is Carroll Creek Park, a floodplain surrounded by brick footpaths and merchants. People love the Wine Kitchen on the Creek, where they can sample flights of wine while eating steak and red curry mussels. They sit on the Creekside patio on warm days, and after eating, they can stroll along the water underneath shady trees and sit on a bench. Away from the creek, Brewer’s Alley is a downtown staple for upscale pub grub and fresh beers, and the Asian fusion Bloom Asian Haus serves specialty dumplings and Asian tapas like a Saigon spring roll. People come from all over to check out music and comedy shows at the Weinberg Center for the Arts. Every month, downtown businesses celebrate First Saturday. New gallery openings, tastings and art exhibitions are typical First Saturday events. “I’ve lived in every nook and cranny of D.C. and the surrounding area, and the community feel and the pride of living here is unparalleled,” says Hopley. “It really has a great community feel.”
Wine Kitchen On The Creek in Downtown Frederick is a great place for wine flights with friends.

Townhouses, wrought iron fencing
Downtown’s brick townhouses and two-family colonials have an early American vibe. Some Federal-style townhouses came online in the late 19th century, and other all-brick colonials developed in 2014. Residential areas are tightly packed, with one townhouse lined up next to another, and they sit directly behind brick sidewalks. It’s an urban living experience in a city of about 82,000. Prices can range from $226,000 to $1.4 million. “It’s relatively affordable compared to the D.C. metro area,” says Hopley.
The majority of Downtown Frederick living consists of row and townhomes of various sizes.

Sprawling city park home to celebrations
Directly west of downtown is Baker Park, a scenic green space within walking distance of the city center. People jog and ride their bikes on pathways, kids play on the playgrounds and locals walk underneath a covered bridge. Baker Park is home to the city’s summer concert series, where people dance to oldies and bluegrass, and its annual Fourth of July celebration. The festival includes food trucks, beer gardens and, of course, fireworks.
