Brunswick is a historic railroad town on the Potomac River — quieter and more affordable than much of Frederick County, with a MARC station that puts Washington, D.C. within a direct commute.

River Town Character

Brunswick grew up around the railroad, and that history is still visible downtown. The C&O Canal towpath runs right along the edge of town, giving residents easy access to biking and walking trails along the Potomac.

Getting Around

MARC commuter rail runs directly from Brunswick into Washington, D.C., and MD-17 and US-340 connect to the rest of the county.

Local Favorites

Beans in the Belfry — a coffeehouse and music venue set inside a converted 19th-century church — is Brunswick’s best-known gathering spot. The City of Brunswick website has more on local events, the heritage museum, and town services.

The Brunswick Market

Brunswick tends to offer more value per square foot than much of the rest of the county, especially for buyers prioritizing the MARC commute. I can pull current listings and recent sales for you.
