Libertytown is a rural community about 26 miles from Frederick
Far out into the farmlands sits the tiny, unassuming community of Libertytown. “The neighborhood has a kind of rolling countryside and isn’t highly populated,” says Nancy Bowlus, Associate Broker with RE/MAX. Libertytown may be small, but its charm is undeniable. When Friday comes, venture into Frederick for a sit-down dinner or stay home with a treat you grabbed from the market.
Libertytown, about 17 minutes north of downtown Frederick, is nestled in a valley.
Planned developments are scarce in Libertytown, but a handful remain.

Homes include bungalows and ranch-style houses on a range of lot sizes
Homes are built along Liberty Road, which passes through the center of town, and smaller streets that branch out like tiny tendrils. As you stray from these roads, miles of open fields begin to take shape. Ranch-style homes and bungalows are the most common home styles, featuring an average of three bedrooms. “Lot sizes go from half an acre to many acres,” explains Bowlus. One advantage Libertytown has is that it has clusters of suburb-like streets, where homes are more predictably spaced, as well as more open acreage with homes father apart. This allows home buyers to decide based on how much privacy they need. Most single family homes cost $270,000 to $520,000, while condos cost $200,000 to $250,000.
Many Libertytown homes sit on large lots in the countryside.

Libertytown Park is renovating athletic fields and the playground

Locals shop at the Widespread County Market and downtown Frederick
Despite being a small rural area, Libertytown has a handful of hidden treasures that are must-sees and dos. The Widespread Country Market is where locals grab fresh meats, treats and preserves. If you’re in the mood for something even fresher, head to the Happy Cow Creamery. This locally run spot doubles as a farm, where you can spot goats and horses as you dig into a cup of classic chocolate or vanilla.
Just 11 miles down Route 26 is downtown Frederick. “Frederick is a go-to destination for restaurants and recreation,” says Bowlus. The Downtown Frederick Partnership organizes a unique event on the first Saturday of each month to provide exposure to local businesses. Embrace the season and support your neighbors for a fun weekend. Sit and enjoy an entrée at the Tasting Room, which serves savory cuts like a rack of lamb and duck breast. Pair it with one of their fine wines or save room for a dessert. For something on the rocks, try Sidecar just down the block and explore their whiskey selection.
Most Libertytown residents frequent downtown Frederick for work, dining, and play.
