My overall experience in Frederick, Maryland has been very good! I hesitate to say "excellent" because no city is flawless, and there are things about my community that could be improved. Frederick is a very diverse county. We celebrate the diversity with festivals and local events that welcome and celebrate all. The schools in this county are all very well organized and have strong academic programs. Public transportation is reliable, and local attractions, such as the fair and Downtown Frederick, are all within close proximity of each other. There is an abundance of job opportunities for young adults in this county. There is a strong family presence, especially downtown at the mom-and-pop shops. However, there are issues, such as an opioid epidemic, that haunt this community, but we are resilient. The issue is well-known, and many people are working very hard to fight back. It's one of the many things that I love about this district. I have had a very good experience living here!
Great city with plenty of social opportunities! Downtown Frederick is always lively with unique events being held often. There is a wide variety of restaurants and shops as well as parks and entertainment venues that provide for a desirable and engaging atmosphere. Frederick has something for everyone and succeeds at creating a family friendly and exciting environment for its residents and visitors.
Frederick is in the perfect location for exploration. Equal distant from both Baltimore and Washington, DC give the chances to see shows and shopping. Also, in the heart of a very historical location of the Civil War, Gettysburg is just North of the City. Additionally, there are a number of bike paths and trails to hike or run. Best place to live!
