Northwest communities have a suburban feel and design.
The green suburban swell of Northwest Hagerstown
The Northwest section of Hagerstown, Maryland is an uptown weave of wide streets, cul-de-sacs and green lawns with leafy mature trees that is just within the city limits. “North of the railroad tracks in that area is entirely residential,” says Shirley Bayer, associate broker with RE/MAX Achievers, who has 35 years of experience in the area. “It’s popular because it’s quiet, not a lot of train noise, and it’s also within walking distance of downtown and very convenient to Dual Highway or to Interstates 81 and 70.” The neighborhood’s retained home value commends it to prospective buyers, while its strong school district endears it to families. Its proximity to outdoor recreation amenities, shopping destinations and the downtown district all serve to make Northwest Hagerstown an appealing community in Western Maryland.
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.

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.
