Whittier
Neighborhood in Frederick, Maryland
Frederick County 21702
With elegant homes in a premium location, Whittier keeps you cozy while quickly connecting you to convenient shopping, quality schools and major cities. “They have multiple sizes and styles of homes, and it’s a very pretty neighborhood,” says Amanda Daubert, local Realtor for Real Estate Teams Referral Company. “The lake is central and there are walking paths throughout and beautiful views all around. It is a very easy commuter location, so it doesn’t take long to get to major areas. The convenience is a huge draw.”
This master-planned community exudes style around every corner and cul-de-sac with large lots and roomy Colonial Revival designs. Sidewalks connect winding roads lined with leafy trees and ornate streetlamps, making a walk through the neighborhood feel like your own personal park. Most builds come with two-car garages and lawns large enough for fields of grass and seasonal decorations. The community includes several buildings with town houses and apartments for simplified dwellings, but no compromise on style. Town houses range from $250,000 to $400,000 depending on the size of the unit. Single-family homes range from $450,000 for a three-bedroom ranch-style build to $800,000 for a luxurious colonial estate.
This quaint collection of communities features Lake Whittier at its center. This picturesque neighborhood park provides serene landscapes of glass-like water and vast green spaces, perfect for a peaceful picnic or a relaxing walk around the lake. Community members also get exclusive access to Cobblestone Pool and Greenleaf Pool for summer fun on sunny days. Stay on top of your exercise routine at Anytime Fitness, a comprehensive gym with professional coaches, plenty of equipment and the bonus of overlooking Lake Whitter while you get your cardio in. Hook up with Yellow Springs Road and reach Downtown Frederick in less than three miles to open yourself up to the city’s culture and employment opportunities.
You get to keep the city in the rearview, but when you need to run out for some groceries or a quick dinner, you don’t have far to go. Walnut Ridge Center sits along Yellow Springs Road, where you can score all your pantry needs from Food Lion or grab your coffee fix from Starbucks on your way into town. Lakefront Shopping Center makes it easy to grab a tasty meal when you don’t have the time at home. Grab something easy after work from Brother’s Pizza, your new spot for specialty pies and fresh wings, and Pigs BBQ makes a great place to fill up smoked meats and comfort classics after walking the trails around the lake.
Students in Whittier become part of the Frederick County Public Schools system. Whittier Elementary sits in the heart of the neighborhood, so the youngest can stay close to home. Niche gives Whittier Elementary a B-plus. For remaining grades, the kids will need to head into town to attend West Frederick Middle School, which Niche gives a B. It’s an easy transition to Frederick High School right next door. Niche ranks it in the top 30% of all public high schools in Maryland thanks to numerous state-champion athletic teams and AP programs eligible for college credit through dual enrollment courses.
With handsome homes and serene surroundings, Whittier keeps you comfortable in the outskirts of Frederick.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
