Overdevelopment in Frederick has been growing for 30 years and will not stop. I lived there for 6 years and loved it but could not afford a house there even 20 years ago. I live in Sharpsburg now, but still miss Frederick!
@@movingtomaryland And Ambassador Baptist Church had an addition to bring the front closer to the street across from the park so this was at least 3+ years back.
I have lived in Frederick since 2008. Downtown in the historic district. The only thing that is bad living here is dealing with the historic district commission if you live in that sector of town. My commute though is annoying and it would obviously be better if there was a better hub for public transportation between here and DC and Baltimore.
I live just past the warehouse and medical park you showed. The city has been creeping towards us in the last decade. I have no problem with redeveloping downtown and the run down strip malls, but they need to stop the urban sprawl. We don't have the infrastructure for it
I haven't seen too many new projects turned down by the planning commission lately either. I predict this will continue for a while. If you liked this video, you might like: th-cam.com/video/vm2OCfIqp6E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=iKDUYDrL662D3bXX
I'd give anything to be able to move back to Frederick. I had to move to Hagerstown after my husband died and it's horrible. Yes, it's a place having growing pains. That's WAY better than dying on the vine 20 miles up the highway.
I live in Arlington, VA now, but I grew up in Frederick, was there until I was 18 before I left for the military. Frederick was the best place to grow up. I come back often to visit and it's still an amazing city.
I grew up in Frederick, and while I loved it there for a long time, it's losing its touch. There's so much development and many of my favorite spots are gone. I loved going to the Holiday Cinemas, the cheap theater that played movies weeks after its release. It was the first place I worked at, actually. But it closed down because of minimum wage, and a used car lot was put in its place. As if we didn't have enough of those?
Back in 2003 to 2007 when I live in walkersville looking back from where I'm at now I can't believe how big it's getting hell and im back in south carolina and it's not getting any better I miss frederick back in 2010 when it was a lot better less crowded
Walkersville has added 6 new developments since 2018 and 8 since 2010. They just approved new rezoning on the Staley farm on Glade road to add additional 60 townhouse to the 20 that are already there. Just keep your memories close because Frederick is not the same anymore. The friendliness you remember and the Appalachian culture of looking out for another has long since gone with all the new people. It’s a very me first outta of my selfishness now. Frederick County is turning into a giant overcrowded suburbia. I really miss the old Frederick but like you my wife and I will be moving as the culture and city just aren’t the same anymore.
I love this map haha. I can't remember the original link but this is it: tedsvintageart.com/products/vintage-map-of-frederick-county-maryland-1858/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwzIK1BhAuEiwAHQmU3qDx3t4PhW0jRGYl7cAbrhIDBWMJnnbr4aGu3s3EJg39Yx5CYvLqdBoC3lwQAvD_BwE
Odd. No mention of Ft. Detrick and it's responsibility for Frederick's status as the top 5th Superfund site in the US. I would kinda think that drinking Frederick's water is and has been for over 50 years, a primary cause of the cancer cluster that earned the Superfund designation. The US Army Chemical Corp's presence at Ft. Detrick throughout the 50s, 60s, and 70s during and after the development of herbicidal weapons including the various 'agents' such as agents orange, white, purple, and green including spraying all designated areas within Detrick's: A, B, C, D, E, and F, and the resulting runoff into Frederick's water table, discussed for years after entire families died of identical tumors, should be known to Frederick residents who've been there any amount of time.
Me too! The building is ridiculous. I've been here for 22 years and seeing it change has been astonishing. No longer affordable or quaint. The hospital has horrible wait times. There is not enough attention given to infrastructure. The roads are just clogged and not just at rush hour. As more people from other expensive counties continue to flock here this situation at some point needs to be addressed. Population will probably exceed 100k in 5 years.
@@richardpace5809 Yeah. Farther out into the countrier-side of frederick, out towards walkersville and others, just more and more modern houses for hundreds of thousands being built.. Pretty much every road you go down, at this point :p
I live in the city of Frederick & drive I-270 in the mornings. The biggest problem with it it that the Governor and the county executive refuses to widen the northern half of I-270.
@@movingtomaryland I commuted on I-270 for over 25 years. I know how bad it is (well, was -- it's worse now) and there was a time when I would have agreed that 270 should be widened.

The only way 270 should be widened is if there is an absolute ban on residential construction, in perpetuity, in FredCo. Otherwise, we'll just end up with a wider linear parking lot -- and no more right-of-way. Then what? BTW -- good video. Well done.

That’s an old pic of baker park, that weeping willow fell in a storm a couple years back. I miss that beautiful tree! 🥰
Great catch! Something only a Frederick local would know!

I lived near Frederick and work in Frederick for the past 35 years and love it

If you ever need help moving back that's what I'm here for!
What are the things that you dislike about Hagerstown?
Brunswick is so much better, cheaper, less crowded, more convenient .......commuting by train is the bomb.....
I loved it 2014 and 2015
There's still a lot to love about it!
I live in Arlington, VA now, but I grew up in Frederick, was there until I was 18 before I left for the military. Frederick was the best place to grow up. I come back often to visit and it's still an amazing city.

Thanks for great video! Just subscribed! 😊
More videos on the way!
LOL, wow stretching it for negatives. Yes, 270 traffic is terrible, been so 40 for years. Always growing.
Thanks for your comment and for watching!
The last 5 years - military personnel are NUTZ on roads, and law appears to not mind at all.
I just found your channel. Any suggestions for property managers for long term rentals in Frederick?
Yes, if you send me an email at eddie@showcaserei.com, I'd be happy to refer you to a PM.
Where did you get the fredco map on the wall in the background? I want one haha

Too expensive that’s why I moved to Hagerstown
Hagerstown is definitely a more affordable city!
Taxes in Frederick co are outrageous
Watch out for the Authorities there, too. OMG ... things have changed all over USA
Born in Frederick Maryland on May 22nd 1985 I am still single in Frederick Maryland as of August 13th 2024.
Hey I live in Fredrick to
The only way ill got out there is if someone else pays. Or im paid $100 or more to bounce. Then ill go out for 6 hours lightly buzzed 😂. I mean work.
School overcrowding in the areas where most development is happening.
Thank you for the comment!
I wish I had considered city taxes before I bought my house.

Same bruh same, I’m moving to Texas when I turn 23
I live downtown. It sucks.
the public schools here for all grades give kids 50% on any assignment, even if they don't turn it in. ...insane
That is becoming more common throughout the country.
I live in the city of Frederick & drive I-270 in the mornings. The biggest problem with it it that the Governor and the county executive refuses to widen the northern half of I-270.
That section absolutely needs to be widened. Thanks for sharing your insight as a local!
