There’s something about South End in Hagerstown
Hagerstown’s South End neighborhood is an area that is sought after for its convenience. “Folks choose South End because it’s more convenient to Interstate 70, Interstate 81 and to the shopping options than other parts of town,” says Realtor Steve Powell, owner of REMAX Achieves and lifelong resident of Hagerstown. “It’s just right in the middle of everything. In no time at all, you can get to anything you need.” While centrality is a deciding factor, it is far from all this community has to offer. The mix of home styles, the neatly manicured lawns and the sidewalk-lined streets lend the area a distinctly midcentury atmosphere, while proximity to Hagerstown City Park and the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts provide a metropolitan spark that is distinct in this part of Maryland. The Premium Outlets just to the south draw visitors from across Maryland, West Virginia and Pennsylvania and the brand-new Meritus Park bringing baseball back to Hagerstown add to that, but the long-standing family-owned restaurants and the suburban quietude give South End a small-town aura that draws homeowners in.

South End’s suburban streets
South End is a neighborhood with a decidedly midcentury atmosphere. “It’s an older community. Most of it was built in the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s,” Powell says. “You’ll find more ranch-style homes that were popular around that time, which tend to sell for higher prices than other styles.” Prospective owners will also find Cape Cods and cottages with roofed front porches available for prices that range from $175,000 to around $300,000. These homes often sit on modest lawns and feature short, fenced-in backyards. Most have designated spots for street parking, although some do have paved driveways leading to detached garages. There are also several duplexes available in the neighborhood, with prices starting around $150,000 and rising to around $300,000.

From Marty Snook to City Park to the ice rink
Outdoorsy residents of South End will enjoy the variety of green space that surrounds them on all sides, from well-maintained athletic fields to walking trails winding through the landscape. “Marty Snook Park is pretty large. It has pools, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, a bunch of pavilions, all kinds of things for active people to do,” Powell says. “And then there’s City Park closer to the middle of town. We go there for walking. You can feed the ducks and walk around the lake. It’s more natural. If you’re looking for a place to play, you go to Marty Snook Park. If you’re going on a date, you go to City Park.” Another nearby option is Fairgrounds Park just 3 miles north of the neighborhood, which is home to a skate park, several athletic fields and the Hagerstown Ice and Sports Complex. “The nice thing about Fairgrounds Park is that it’s actually connected to Pangborn Park by a walking trail, too,” Powell adds. “There’s a nice lake over there as well, and you can just walk from the ice rink.”

The public schools of Washington County
Children in South End may begin their education at Emma K. Doub Elementary School, which is rated B-plus and ranks as Niche’s No. 4 Best Public Elementary School in Washington County. They would then move just across the street to E. Russell Hicks Middle, which also earns a B-plus and is within walking distance of most of the neighborhood. Students finish at South Hagerstown High, which scores a B. South Hagerstown offers a wide range of athletics programs, including baseball and bocce, as well as several after-school clubs, including an Academic Quiz Team and an Environmental Team.

Meritus Park brings baseball back to Hagerstown
Most of South End is within walking distance of the newest addition to the Hagerstown skyline. “The city just finished building a brand-new stadium north of City Park,” Powell says. “It’s smaller than what you’d see in the major leagues, but it’s just amazing to me that we have it in Hagerstown.” Meritus Park, home to Atlantic League Baseball’s Hagerstown Flying Boxcars, can hold up to 4,000 fans for games and more for concerts and community events. The Boxcars are Hagerstown’s first team since the departure of the Hagerstown Suns in 2020, and the community has helped make the newcomers an early success.
Hagerstown is convenient to Interstate Highway 81.
Getting around Western Maryland
Route 40 runs directly through the center of Hagerstown, giving South End residents quick access to Interstate 81. I-81 is the most direct route 11.5 miles north to Hagerstown Regional Airport, where locals can catch flights to vacation destinations like Orlando, Florida and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The neighborhood is also just north of Interstate 70, the country-spanning highway that terminates in Baltimore 72 miles to the east.
Premium Outlets and long-standing home-grown staples
Residents have no shortage of options when it comes to grocery shopping. There is a Save A Lot directly in the neighborhood, an Aldi 2 miles south across Interstate 70 and a Sam’s Club 3 miles west near Valley Mall. At Valley Mall, folks will also find a Target and over 100 other retailers. The neighborhood is a mile north of the Hagerstown Premium Outlets, where over 60 luxury brands maintain storefronts. And there is no need to travel far when dining out for the evening. “You have all the usual chains, like Chili’s and Outback,” Powell says. “But there’s also hometown choices. Rik’s Café is nice and private and locally owned.” Rik’s Café, which opened in 2014, offers a contemporary American menu and is located directly off Maryland Avenue. Among their most popular items is the Chesapeake Cheesesteak, a spin on the classic sandwich that is topped with crab dip. After dinner, locals head to a regional landmark to grab a bite of dessert – or their breakfast for the next morning. “Krumpe’s Do-Nuts has been around forever – probably more than 65 or 70 years,” Powell says. “Every Hagerstown native probably has a story about waiting in line at Krumpe’s in their lifetimes.” Unlike most typical donut shops, Krumpe’s is only open at night from 7 to 11 p.m.
South End residents can conveniently shop the Hagerstown Premium Outlets.
South End Shopping Center offers a wide variety of dining and shopping options in South End.
