A couple miles north of downtown Frederick, Maryland, you will find the quiet, residential neighborhood of Villa Estates. With proximity to the Blue Ridge Mountains, significant thoroughfares and famous metropolises such as Baltimore and Washington DC, there is convenience in almost every corner.
Filled with brick ramblers, Colonial Revivals, and Cape Cods, the neighborhood is primarily a residential area with well-manicured lawns adjoining sidewalks, perfect for an afternoon walk. Housing options include single-family homes, town house communities, and apartment complexes. Home prices range from $160,000 for a two-bed, one-bath condo to the $400,000s for a single-family home. “Villa Estates is a popular starter home area. With Fort Detrick and Route 15 close by, it’s easy to commute to the base or downtown Frederick,” says Eddie Brady, Realtor with Showcase Real Estate LLC. The median lot sizes are about 12,200 square feet. With free little libraries scattered across the neighborhood, you can wander the street to find your next favorite adventure novel.
Children in the area may attend North Frederick Elementary and Governor Thomas Johnson Middle School, scoring a B+ on Niche. Students may also attend Monocacy Elementary and Monocacy Middle School. Both middle schools feed into Governor Thomas Johnson High School, which has an overall B+ rating on Niche and offers a variety of clubs to choose from. Heather Ridge School, also in the neighborhood, is an excellent alternative for students who thrive from additional therapeutic and behavioral support. For those seeking smaller class sizes, St. John Regional Catholic School is a short drive away. With an A+ rating on Niche, it has recently been recognized as one of the 50 best private schools in the United States.
Spend the afternoon strolling around Waterford Park’s wide-open trails while you smell the fresh holly trees hovering above you. Dazzle in the beauty of the native azaleas along Carroll Creek, which runs through the park. Established in 2005, the park aims to provide a wildlife sanctuary and educate the public on the importance of native plants by cultivating the area with native trees, shrubs and flowers. If you want to join a pickup game of basketball or volleyball, head over to Kidwiler Park off Schley Avenue or check out College Estate Park along Taney Avenue. Gather with loved ones under the pavilion for a birthday celebration or grin with glee as you see the pure joy that only a child can feel as they slide down and swing around on the playground.
While a short 10-minute drive to downtown Frederick can treat you to an array of mom-and-pop shops and restaurants, you can still revel in delight and stay close to home for a night out. The beloved Vocelli’s Pizza is great for catering the next neighborhood party. In contrast, those in the mood for seafood can dine at Bonefish Grill to stimulate their senses with the crispy but light bang bang shrimp and the refreshing signature sangria. During football season, get together with friends and grab a beer at the classic Glory Days Grill. The small but delicious ZiPani Café Bistro has been voted “Best Bagel” in Frederick Magazine. Smell the fresh air as you sip a hot coffee and bite down on a soft but toasted, everything bagel. If you prefer to cook at home, you can choose from Giant Eagle Supermarket in the Frederick Shopping Center or Weis Market in the Amber Meadows Shopping Center for everyday essentials. With salons and retail abound, Krispy Cuts is a popular barber spot and a shopping center staple. Here, you’ll find both old and young conversing while getting their hair cut and beards trimmed. The northern end of Villa Estates is also home to a section of the medical district, making a trip to the doctor accessible and convenient.
Route US 15 and I-70 are nearby for those commuting into surrounding localities. A walk down Rosemont Avenue or West 7th Street leads locals to various bus routes. With the mountains to the West, Washington, DC to the East, and downtown Frederick about two miles South, there is something to do in almost every corner of the map.
