Villages of Urbana offers an optimized lifestyle for southern Frederick County families

In southern Frederick County, just north of Montgomery County, the master-planned community Villages of Urbana offers an optimized lifestyle for D.C. commuters and their families. “It’s just an incredible place to live and raise a family,” says Stacy Delisle, a resident since 2007 and associate broker with Impact Maryland Real Estate. “It’s a real sweet spot with all the wonderful things you look for in a place to live - excellent schools, excellent amenities, a great community vibe and just access to anything, whether it’s activities, groceries, other locally owned businesses.” As she’s raised her children in the neighborhood, Delisle’s found it easy to get involved in the community and emphasizes that the community aspect is what keeps so many families there. “The community is large enough that it’s impossible to know everyone, but it is tightknit. Just down the road, a 55-plus community just finished being built, and a lot of grandparents of the children here will live there. When we talk about tightknit, that’s the kind of thing that’s happening. People talk about six degrees of separation, but between sports and class and youth groups and whatever, Urbana’s probably two degrees at most.”
Villages of Urbana offers an optimized lifestyle for southern Frederick County families, blending top-rated schools, modern amenities, walkable neighborhoods, and a strong sense of community for everyday comfort and connection.

High resale values in this fast-moving housing market

Villages of Urbana has a mix of single-family homes and townhouses, most built with new traditional architecture. Prices for single-family homes typically range from $700,000 to $1.2 million, while townhouse prices fall between $400,000 and $700,000. Homes in Villages of Urbana sell after an average of 17 days, much quicker than the national average of 47 days. “This is one of the fastest growing markets in Frederick County, and because of that, homes move very quickly,” says Realtor Tony LaScola with Welcome Home Realty Group. “High resale value is almost a guarantee because of the demand for housing in this area.” Delisle echoes that once people move into this community, they often don’t want to leave. “People love it,” she says. “When people move away, it’s typically because of a job transfer. A lot of my clients are people selling a townhouse and buying a single-family home and staying put there. I have a lot of move-up clients. There are also empty nesters downsizing. Some of them sell their single-family home and buy a townhouse because they don’t want to leave the area.”

Community amenities and Urbana District Park

Delisle lists the following amenities: three pools, two fitness centers, tennis-slash-pickleball courts, basketball courts and jogging and walking paths. When the weather’s nice, “You’re constantly seeing people out doing things,” she says. “It’s lovely that that’s the case. In the summertime, the pools are full. Our community has two swim teams because it outgrew having just one. Those have really high participation. We’re pretty deeply ingrained in our community with our kids’ activities, coaching kids’ sports through the rec program and things like that.” The large Urbana District Park is located in the neighborhood and offers athletic amenities such as sports fields, picnic shelters and sand volleyball courts.

Engaging residents through community events

“The HOA does a great job of engaging the community, not just with services or amenities, but it also hosts a lot of events to engage the residents, which is awesome,” Delisle says. “They do a spring fling, a fall fest, they have an adult prom that they’re doing, and an adult swim night at the pool. In the summertime, they have monthly outdoor movie nights on the lawn, wine nights and community yard sales.”
