Commuting from Frederick: Route 15, I-70, and the Monocacy MARC
Jayme Park Realtor, RLAH Real Estate
By car
From 402 Matlock Ln, Route 15 is about 1 mile away, and the I-70/US-15 interchange at Monocacy Boulevard and Buckeystown Pike is roughly 1 to 1.5 miles. That puts Washington, DC about 50 miles to the south, roughly 50 to 60 minutes via I-270 before traffic, and Baltimore about 45 to 50 miles east, roughly 55 to 65 minutes via I-70 before traffic. Frederick's position between the two metros is the reason so many commuters choose it.
By train
For the daily trip south, the Monocacy MARC station on the Brunswick Line is about 3 to 4 miles from Market Commons, roughly 10 minutes by car, with free parking. Riders consistently rate it the best way to commute to Washington, DC: park once, ride in, and skip the I-270 crawl.
The other direction
Commuting cuts both ways. Historic Downtown Frederick is just 3 miles from the home, which means after-work dinners on Market Street, weekend brewery runs, and farmers market trips are all part of the same address. And for the days you work from home, the essentials are within walking distance: shopping, restaurants, grocery, One Life Fitness, and Walmart.
The bottom line
Market Commons pairs a walkable daily life with serious highway and rail access. If the commute math works from Frederick, 402 Matlock Ln is worth a look: a nearly new 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath townhome with a two-car garage, about 1 mile from Route 15.
