About Brunswick, MD
Proudly bearing the motto “big town, small city,” Brunswick, Maryland, is popular for its eclectic main street, ample outdoor opportunities and tight-knit community. “The cool thing about Brunswick is that you’re in an area that is so accessible, maybe twenty minutes from downtown Frederick and fifteen minutes from downtown Harpers Ferry. People like the outdoor adventure stuff there, like the Appalachian trails, river access and zip lining,” says Carolyn Young of the Carolyn Young Team, who has sold multiple homes in the neighborhood. “It’s a fun little social town where the community all gets together and does a lot of events like Oktoberfest and things that are good for the citizens and the community.”
Brunswick offers a range of housing options that appeal to all kinds of buyers. You can pick up a townhouse in a 1970s building starting around $200,000, a historic single-family home in the heart of downtown starting around $250,000, or a new build in Brunswick Crossing, a master-planned community on the outskirts of town, starting around $550,000. Most of the city is laid out in a grid, even the newer subdivisions; in fact, the newer construction mimics that of downtown in many ways, with its narrow city-like lots with small front yards and back-alley garage parking.
Students attend Frederick County Public Schools like Brunswick Elementary School, Brunswick Middle School and Brunswick High School, all of which Niche awards an overall B grade. Brunswick Middle and High students have access to a program called Tutor Me, which offers virtual tutoring services in any subject on-demand, 24/7.
Brunswick has multiple city parks where residents can get out and enjoy the day. Brunswick City Park, for example, offers playground equipment, tennis courts and a dog park. For those looking to work out their walking shoes, spend some time meandering the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal towpath, which runs along the Potomac River for nearly 200 miles. In fact, the walking trails in Brunswick Crossing connect to the C&O Canal trails. For even more adventure, as Young points out, Harpers Ferry is an outdoor adventureland only minutes away. Of course, the weather doesn’t always cooperate with all of Brunswick’s outdoor recreation options. On a rainy day, check out what programming the Brunswick Branch Library is offering, or spend the afternoon brushing up on your Brunswick history at the Brunswick Heritage Museum.
Brunswick has a charming downtown with an eclectic selection of shops and restaurants. Beans in the Belfry is a cafe carved out of a restored century-old church building; come for morning coffee, traditional English afternoon tea service or a Friday night glass of wine. Smoketown Brewery is another mainstay of the main street, housed in a 1940s fire station and aptly named Smoketown as a reference to a time when visiting coal trains would blanket the town in smoke. On the edge of town, the Marketplace at Brunswick Crossing offers a few other necessities and conveniences, like a Weis grocery store.
Brunswick may seem like a small, tucked-away town, but it’s got one thing many other small towns don’t. “Another thing that’s nice about Brunswick is you have the MARC train,” Young says, referencing the Maryland Rail Commuter (MARC) Train line to Washington, D.C. “Depending on what time you go, it takes anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour to get to D.C. But the good thing is, instead of driving, you can sit on the train, read the newspaper and just relax.”
