Neighborhood in Hagerstown, Maryland

The two halves of home in Collegiate Acres
Terps Boulevard splits Collegiate Acres into an eastern and a western side. The east side is made up of 55-plus housing units, single-story townhouses sharing garage walls with small front yards that are set back from the sidewalks by paved driveways, and apartment buildings. Apartments come in one-, two- and three-bedroom models, while the 55-plus units range in price from $245,000 to $275,000. The western side of the neighborhood features more traditional townhouse options, with narrow backyards and concrete driveways shaded by tall trees. These tend to cost between $265,000 and $330,000. An outer ring of detached single-family homes completes the picture. These Modern Traditional builds most often have colonial influence and feature paved driveways, garages and backyards large enough for in-ground swimming pools, pricing between $450,000 and $550,000. Buyers should be aware of the neighborhood’s unique tax zoning. “Homes in the area have county and city taxes even though they’re outside the city limits,” Granados says. “So owners typically pay almost double the taxes, but many are fine with that because the payment is still cheaper than it would be in places like Montgomery County, Frederick County or D.C.”Terrapin Park and pickup soccer games
Terrapin Park is a central fixture of the neighborhood. It features a playground, picnic shelter and basketball court. A mile and a half north of Collegiate Acres, residents can sign up for rec league and pickup games at the Hagerstown Soccer Complex, located next to Grace Academy. Hagerstown City Park is 3 miles south, where folks can stroll around the pond and feed the ducks while children compete on the swing set and scamper up the jungle gym. This park is also home to the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts, which features a sculpture garden in addition to a permanent collection of classical artwork.

Neighborhood children are zoned to attend Maugansville Elementary School, which scores a B from Niche. Students then proceed to Western Heights Middle, which earns a B-minus.

They finish at North Hagerstown High, Niche’s No. 2 Best Public High School in Washington County and home of the Hubs, which scores an A. The private faith-based Grace Academy, just north of the neighborhood, provides an alternative option. This school scores a B-minus and serves students from kindergarten through grade 12.

Concerts at Hub City Vinyl
Since its construction in 2024, Meritus Park in downtown Hagerstown has played host to the Flying Boxcars, the local minor league team. Neighbors catch up at the 4,000-seat stadium over hot honey chicken biscuits and craft beer, enjoying the first baseball in Hagerstown since the departure of their previous franchise. Hub City Vinyl, just down the road, is the largest record store in the state. In addition to their extensive collection of albums, the shop holds regular concerts in their historic venue.
Along the Interstate 81 corridor
This neighborhood sits less than a mile west of Interstate 81, providing residents with a major connection to the rest of the tri-state area. This road is the quickest way to shopping destinations at the Valley Mall and to Hagerstown Regional Airport just over 4 miles north. Hagerstown Regional offers direct flights to places like Orlando, Florida and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for summer getaways. I-81 also links up 5 miles south with Interstate 70. This cross-country highway is the best way to get to Frederick, 35 miles southeast of Hagerstown.Valley Mall and AC&T fried chicken
Collegiate Acres is 2 miles from the Centre at Hagerstown strip mall, located on the outskirts of the city and home to the nearest Walmart Supercenter and the Home Depot. It is also a brief 5 miles north of one of Hagerstown’s biggest shopping destinations. At the trio of shopping centers in the region of Valley Mall, folks can shop for groceries at Target, Sam’s Club and Martin’s and pick up weekend project essentials at Lowe’s. The Valley Mall itself offers over 100 retail stores and restaurants, including the popular regional chain Black Rock Bar and Grill. The AC&T convenience store just across Salem Avenue is a favorite local stop for fried chicken, and the neighborhood is about 3 miles from downtown Hagerstown, where locals have gathered at Bavarian eatery Schmankerl Stube on special occasions since 1997.
