Thurmont is a tranquil community with mountain views near the Potomac
Just south of the Pennsylvania border, and 60 miles from the nation’s capital sits Thurmont, Maryland, a place where you can get lost in nature. “Access to the Appalachian Trail, the Potomac, scenic views, we really have it all,” says Kelly Losquardo of Long & Foster Real Estate. “You feel tucked away, and further from civilization than you really are.” Thurmont also features a strong school district and plenty of parks for locals to explore the outdoors.

Homes with spacious yards include Craftsman and ranch-style homes
Three-bedroom ranch-style and tri-level homes are found in Thurmont, as well as larger, newly renovated Craftsman homes and New Traditional homes. Smaller homes cost $250,000 to $410,000; ones larger than 2,000 square feet range from $410,000 to $830,000. “You are getting a lot of value for your money in this area compared to some surrounding neighborhoods,” says Losquardo. Homes tend to have a lot of space between them and front and back yards for a pet to exercise. The mix of leafed and evergreen trees provides shade, while the Maryland precipitation keeps the lawns green for most of the year.

Catoctin Mountain Park is one of many nearby parks with hiking trails
Thurmont residents love getting outside. “Within just a few miles, there are multiple state and national parks,” boasts Losquadro. One such park is Catoctin Mountain Park, home to a variety of hiking trails, horseback riding areas and camping to lay out under the stars. “Some of the trails lead to these scenic overlooks that are just stunning.” The East Side trails are more traveled, while the West Side Trails provide a wilder and more quiet experience. At Loy’s Station Park, anglers can fish in Owens Creek, while others fire up the community grills for a picnic or play a game of horseshoes. East End Park is home to five baseball fields and Eyler Park has three multi-purpose fields, both often host youth sporting events. For an outdoor workout, Thurmont Community Park offers a fitness trail along with tennis and basketball courts.

Commuters take Interstate 270 into Washington
Proximity to Interstate 270 is key as Losquardo points out many people commute to Washington for work. “We do have public transportation options, but it can take a while, so most folks just drive,” she says. Baltimore/Washinton International Airport is just over 60 miles away. The closest emergency room is about 15 miles away at Frederick Health Hospital.
