The Clustered Spires of Downtown Frederick Maryland

The Historic District in Downtown Frederick generally runs from East Street to Market Street, from 7th Street to South Street, and includes a ‘bump-out’ for Maryland School for the Deaf and the stately Victorians along Clark Place, as well as a few other bump-outs.  There is a great map of the Frederick Historic District at the tourism website.

If you plan to buy a home in the Historic District, know that the planning commission has Historic District homes guidelines for the preservation of homes in the district.  It amazes me to know that there is a file at the public library for each property in the district, because each is on the National Historic Registry.  If you have interest in a particular home, you can research it yourself.  You may find old pictures, floor plans or newspaper articles about the property.

With all the development taking place downtown, there are some beautiful new homes and newly renovated old homes for sale for those of you who want something modern and move-in ready.  Use our convenient MLS Search to find homes for sale in downtown Frederick.

If you plan to restore a home in the Frederick Historic District, there are Frederick County, MD State, and National tax credits available.  Did you know that restoring old properties is very ‘Green’? Who knows, you might be able to take advantage of some Tax breaks for green renovations.  And speaking of ‘green living’, downtown Frederick has a walkscore of 98 out of 100.          

There are currently about 40 homes for sale in and around the Historic District, downtown Frederick MD.  All but 4 of them are actually historic. The others are condominiums in the new Creekside Plaza.  These condominiums are basic unfinished units, ready for the buyer to finish out as they desire.*
