Woodsboro
Located in Frederick County
Drive ten miles north of Frederick and you will find Woodsboro, the small town living up to its namesake with dense trees and open tracts of land stretching for miles. “Home buyers want peace and quiet out in the farm country,” says Realtor Dennis Stouffer of Quad State Realty.
Homes are sparsely peppered along Woodsboro’s rural landscape. Venture in any direction away from Woodsboro proper, and you will see acre after acre of greenery. On the outskirts sit ranches and bungalows, whose plot sizes vary but are pretty generous. A small cluster of parallel streets make up the town itself, with mostly ranch styles and Colonial Revivals. “Most of the buyers are coming from Montgomery. It’s less pricey here,” says Stouffer. Ranches and revivals range from about $250,000 to $550,000 in town, whereas outside town, the range is wider. A typical rancher with a few acres might fetch $350,000, while ones with double-digit acreage would cost closer to $600,000.
Kids in Woodsboro attend Woodsboro Elementary, which Niche rates a B-minus. When they move to Walkersville Middle, kids’ well-being is promoted with their STOP Bullying campaign. Niche rates Walkersville Middle a B and Walkersville High a B-plus. The latter has a 93% graduation rate, according to US News.
The aptly named Woodsboro Park sits at the center of the community and consists of a playground for kids to climb, slide and swing to their hearts’ content. Throughout the park’s expansive 102 acres, locals can find shade, socialize and chat under one of three rentable pavilions. The 2015-redesigned disc golf course offers 18 holes at a mostly hilly elevation. Seasonal activities are also available to all. In the winter, go sledding down the park’s hillside. When spring arrives, and the water is warmer, try your luck casting a line for some trout. Keep your eyes peeled for the turtles and herons making their way along the waterfront.
If you didn’t catch anything, don’t worry; Trouts Market on Main Street has a solid selection of seafood, so you can have that fish for dinner after all. Driving is essential in this neighborhood, so if you need a larger selection of meats and produce, hop in the car for a quick trip to the Safeway about four miles south. If you’re the handy type or have been procrastinating on that house project for too long, stop by Vintage Lumber in town. Their friendly staff can help you select from a variety of tree species and aesthetics to meet your lumber needs. If you’d rather envision the project than trust experts with the rest, consider the Woodsboro Craftsmen. They’re a local business providing kitchen and bathroom remodels with free estimates.
For that one evening you don’t feel like making dinner, visit the Olde Towne Restaurant for a classic burger and fries or sandwich. On a weekend afternoon, you might stop by for a refreshing taste of peach moonshine at the family-owned Rosie Cheeks Distillery. There are opportunities to get outside and socialize, too. “There’re all kinds of festivals going on every other week. Each town does their own thing,” says Stouffer. The great thing about Woodsboro’s events is that they coincide with the seasons. In April, kids head to the park for the annual Community Easter Egg Hunt. October is, just as you’d hope, the time when all can participate in yearly trick-or-treating from house to house.
With that coveted small-town feel and community atmosphere, Woodsboro is an excellent choice for home buyers looking to plant roots and save money in the process.
