Frederick City and County are at a major crossroads between Washington, DC, Baltimore, and central Pennsylvania, located in close proximity to both Washington, DC and Baltimore city centers. The area has witnessed the earliest days of the country's westward expansion, through the formative years of our nation including key Civil War battles, up to today's rapidly growing urban corridor extending from Washington, DC. It offers a community of steady growth and stability.
The city of Frederick supports a thriving central historic and commercial district comprised of many restaurants, stores, and small businesses, most of which are locally owned. A stroll through the popular Carroll Creek Park is a great way to access and experience the city's vibrant core! Frederick County is fortunate in how it has balanced its urban growth with the existing agricultural history, with access to fresh, local farm produce, dairy, and meats throughout the year. There is also an incredible range of local, state, and national parks which preserve the public connection to nature.
