Eastward bound
At first glance, East Frederick might seem like nothing more than warehouses and a municipal airport. As the home of car rental chains, marble and granite companies and auto repair shops, the neighborhood is not exactly packed with trendy establishments that come alive on the weekends. But look a little closer and it's clear that East Frederick is one of the fastest-growing residential parts of town. Sleek townhouses, condominiums and stone-outfitted contemporary homes are under construction in an enclosed residential area touching the municipal airport. A distillery, car rental services and a doggy daycare operate from nondescript warehouse structures with little foot traffic. In the fall, everyone heads to this side of town to ride the Ferris wheel and pet baby farm animals at the storied Great Frederick Fair. Neighbors can drive to biotechnology companies in Riverside Corporate Park in minutes.
“The East Frederick dynamic is this: North and west of town is established. There’s Baker Park and Hood College north of downtown, and there’s a great community there, whereas east is a little bit industrial. The idea is as Frederick grows, where is it going to grow? It can only grow east,” says Drew Hopley, operator at Live Frederick Group with Keller Williams Realty Centre.
Brand-new homes will be at the center of a new neighborhood
In East Frederick, along Carroll Creek, is a new community called Renn Quarter. Developed by homebuilder D.R. Horton, Renn Quarter is a residential neighborhood of traditional homes and townhouses under construction as of early 2024. It’s an extension of the effort to extend downtown eastward. “Renn Quarter is popular because it’s new. The more established East Church is across the street,” says Hopley. “The eastern development is an opportunity zone for developers and builders, but there’s a lot of debate about whether we have the appropriate infrastructure and roads, and what that means.”
A paved pathway will eventually connect Renn Quarter with downtown via Church Street, and 32,000 square feet of commercial space will come online. Townhouses can cost upwards of $500,000 and traditional single-family homes can cost more than $700,000. On the south side of the neighborhood – the area below Interstate 70 – midcentury single-family homes sit next to each other on grassy streets, some behind chain link fences. Ramblers from the 1960s can go for $387,000, and with renovations, they can cost more than $500,000.
Come on down to the local fair
Besides the new residential developments, East Frederick has the Frederick Municipal Airport, an aircraft service and repair operation, plus a flight school. Every year, the neighborhood’s Frederick Fairgrounds host the Great Frederick Fair, a weeklong, family-friendly agricultural fair and Frederick tradition since before the Civil War. Every year at the fair has a different theme – 2023’s was “Cowboy Boots & Downhome Roots, let’s stirrup some fun!” The theme for 2024 has yet to be revealed, but kid-friendly shows, livestock racing, baby chicks and live music are always part of the fun.
Drinking sudsy beers, eating wings and gorging on doughnuts
East Frederick is residential and industrial as it currently stands, but it does have some fun places to check out. Inside a warehouse near the airport is the Garage, a popular restaurant where people eat pizza and wings at wooden picnic tables. Next door is Dragon Distillery, where locals sip Basilisk Bourbon and lemon meringue moonshine inside the tasting room. Juicy burgers, thick-cut French fries and onion rings are served at Beef ‘n Buns ‘n Paradise, where the bright yellow trim and alligator statue would not be out of place across from a beach in Florida. Doughnuts in flavors like French toast, lemonade and caramel sundae are served hot at the Fractured Prune. Breweries like RAK Brewing and Attaboy Beer sit along Carroll Creek near Patrick Street. Retailers like Costco and Walmart Supercenter sit along Interstate 70, a drive of about 10 minutes. Downtown Frederick and its restaurants featuring Thai, Japanese, Spanish and new American cuisine are less than 5 minutes away by car.
Highly-rated schools
Frederick County Public Schools are well-regarded, with an A-minus grade from Niche. Public schools serving East Frederick include Spring Ridge Elementary School, Governor Thomas Johnson Middle School and Governor Thomas Johnson High School. All three schools have a B-plus rating from Niche, and high school students can study dance, music and theater through the district’s Academy for the Fine Arts.
Getting around
Many locals work in town, including at major biotechnology companies at Riverside Corporate Park. But some locals commute into cities like Washington D.C. and Baltimore, which are an hour away by car. Interstates 70 and 270 cut through town.
