Homes on green lawns that hold their value
There is an intriguing mix of homes available in Northwest Hagerstown, from closely clustered townhouses speckled through cul-de-sacs to renovated midcentury single-family homes with small front and backyards. “You see a lot of wide, tree-lined streets and older homes with a lot of character,” Bayer says. “That’s something you don’t find much of anymore, and there’s a real pride of ownership because of it. The northwest quadrant of Hagerstown has always been the best area for resale value within the city limits.” Townhouses come in single- and multi-story varieties and tend to cost between $250,000 and $370,000. Detached single-family options such as Cape Cods and ranch-style houses begin pricing around $270,000 and rise as high as $360,000 depending on age and the status of renovations. There are also several Colonial Revival duplexes available along Fairchild Avenue. These tend to cost between $236,000 and $290,000.

Playgrounds, ballparks and fishing ponds
Hamilton Park features a picnic pavilion and a small playground for neighborhood children in the heart of Northwest Hagerstown's suburban streets, while Mills Park offers a jungle gym, slide and a paved loop that circles the communal lawn. Just across the train tracks is Kenneth E. Dudley Field, which has hosted the local Federal Little League since its establishment in 1954. The neighborhood is also just 2 miles from Fairgrounds Park, where locals will find the skate park, the ice rink, an outdoor roller hockey rink, several multi-use athletic fields and a walking path leading to the fishing pond at Pangborn Park.

Walking downtown for baseball and concerts
Northwest Hagerstown is a sidewalk-lined 2 miles from the city’s downtown district. “You can walk right up to the new ballpark,” Bayer says. “It’s amazing what they’ve been doing downtown. One day I was driving by the construction site, the next it seemed like there was a baseball game happening.” The stadium, Meritus Park, is the home arena of the local minor league team, the Flying Boxcars. Just down the street at Hub City Vinyl, locals peruse the stock at Maryland’s largest record store or crowd into the historic venue for live concerts and performances. And children will enjoy the hands-on science exhibits at Discovery Station, located just a few blocks away from the ballpark.
