Frederick's Answer to the HOA Pool Question

Frederick County is growing faster than almost anywhere in Maryland, and nearly all of that growth — Urbana, Ballenger Creek, Lake Linganore, the Villages of New Market — comes with an architectural review board attached. If your covenant packet says no to a basic above-ground pool, don't give up on swimming; change the configuration. A Kayak pool set into the grade and framed with matching decking presents the same finished silhouette as a custom inground build, at a price that leaves room for the rest of your Catoctin-view landscaping. Frederick summers earn it, too: those hazy 90-degree stretches between Memorial Day and the Great Frederick Fair are exactly when a two-minute walk to the water beats a forty-minute drive to a crowded county pool. For DC and Baltimore commuters, it's the shortest vacation you'll ever take — and it's waiting in the backyard every evening.
