Brunswick Crossing is an established development in southwest Frederick County, Md. — near such attractions as Harpers Ferry in West Virginia and Loudoun County wine country in Virginia — offering spacious new single-family houses and townhouses.
More than 60 percent of 1,505 residences planned at Brunswick Crossing have been sold. Currently, sites for 17 townhouses and 67 single-family houses are available. The developer says that in the fourth quarter of 2022, an estimated 148 single-family house sites will be available.
Planning for the development began in the early 2000s, said Dan Fryer, regional vice president of Pleasants Development. “The Great Recession … delayed us and the builders, Lennar and Richmond American Homes,” Fryer said. “When the development opened in November 2009, there was a difficult economy, but home sales came back strong in 2015-16. The newest section was built in 2021.”
Richard Foot said he and his wife, after retiring, moved from New England to Brunswick Crossing 12 years ago to be near family. They purchased a four-bedroom, four-bathroom single-family house in 2010 for $396,000. He said they love “the thoughtful layout and curved streets, the undulating terrain and my new fitness interest, pickleball.”
The builders, he added, “kept topographical features, and each house has a different facade. There’s strong civic engagement by residents, and all sorts of lifestyle accoutrements.”

Transit: Residents have convenient access to U.S. Routes 340 and 15 and Interstate 270. The MARC commuter rail service has a station just over two miles from Brunswick Crossing and provides transportation to various points in Maryland and to Union Station in Washington. Fryer indicated that the developer is willing to enter into an agreement to provide shuttle bus service between Brunswick Crossing and the MARC station if local officials consider it necessary, based on rider demand.
