One mile outside of downtown Frederick, Maryland is the highly sought-after Monocacy Village neighborhood. Dotted with natural streams stemming from the Monocacy River and distant views of the Catoctin Mountain range, this area has seen a steady rise in population throughout the years.
Diverse architectural housing styles include quintessential brick ramblers and modern colonial homes with grassy plots that sit amongst a backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The average price for single-family homes in the area ranges between the upper $300,000s to the mid $500,000s. “The neighborhood is changing as first-time home buyers purchase in the area,” says Christine Reeder, Realtor with Long & Foster Real Estate. "Homes are more affordable than downtown but are still within walking distance of restaurants and shops."
The neighboring East Church town house community offer modern traditional townhomes in the $400,000 range and neoclassical luxury townhomes in the mid to upper $600,000s. With crown molding and bright exteriors, these homes seamlessly blend into the historical ambiance of downtown Frederick. According local resident Courtney Nabua, the area is “a great balance between a slower day-to-day pace of living and having quick access to a livelier scene in a matter of minutes, which I believe many people are searching for these days.”
Students in the neighborhood can attend Spring Ridge Elementary School, which receives an A-minus rating from Niche. Students can move on to Governor Thomas Johnson Middle School, which has a B. Governor Thomas Johnson High School holds a B-plus and boasts a countywide performing arts magnet program called the Arts and Communications Academy.
Monocacy Village Park is within walking distance from the neighborhood. The park includes green space, as well basketball, pickleball, volleyball and tennis courts. A mile down the road is Riverwalk Park, where rocky paths adjoin the creek as songs of the Eastern Blue Birds ring out. A distinctive feature that makes this park well-known is the inline hockey rink.
Nearby dining options in Monocacy Village Shopping Center allow residents to walk to and from breakfast. The Showroom is a popular brunch spot that serves biscuits and gravy. For some New York-style pizza, there's Bellisario's next door. Across the street is Rockwell Brewery, where the owner aims to create the best craft brews around Frederick. The brewery also holds special events throughout the year, such as live music and fundraisers for local charities. And for groceries, the Giant Eagle Supermarket meets everyday needs. The Common Market and Heartland Homes Food Inc. are also within a 1.5-mile radius, offering organic selections for health-conscious crowds.
U.S. Route 40 and U.S. Route 15 are nearby, while multiple bus routes are nearby on North East Street. Just an hour outside Washington, D.C. and 1 mile from downtown Frederick’s entertainment options, Monocacy Village is attractive for commuters.
