KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY
Two homes on the same street can have completely different rental potential, HOA rules and resale value. Start with the neighborhoods people ask me about most, or jump to the full data on all 132 Fredericksburg-area neighborhoods.
Click any neighborhood for the full guide: location, homes, HOA dues, STR rules and the questions buyers ask most.
Walk to Main Street. Old German stone homes, Sunday Houses and the most STR permits in town.
Newer one-story homes on the north side, near the elementary school. Low HOA.
Established, oak-shaded lots just north of Main. No HOA.
Gated, Southern Living Inspired community 2 miles from Main with a 12-acre park and trails.
Private golf and club community 5 miles north. Membership comes with ownership.
Gated 55+ community off East Main with a clubhouse and heated pool.
Gated 5–10 acre homesites toward Comfort with The Hive and a 30-acre agrihood.
Gated 2–4 acre homesites near Stonewall and the 290 wine trail. Ag exemption.
The STR column below shows how often homes sold in each neighborhood carried a short-term rental permit (in town) or were marketed as an STR (county). It's a starting point — always verify the specific property before you buy.
Inside city limits, an STR needs a City of Fredericksburg permit, and eligibility depends on zoning. In the county there's no city permit, so the deed restrictions decide. Want my full checklist? Download the STR Buyer Checklist.
