Stone Ridge: Fredericksburg's Most Popular In-Town Neighborhood

If you're looking for a newer home inside the city limits, Stone Ridge is probably on your list. It's the single most active neighborhood in Fredericksburg in the MLS record — 111 homes sold — and it's a favorite for families and full-time residents who want a quiet street, a little elbow room and an easy drive to everything.

Quick facts

Where is Stone Ridge?

Stone Ridge is on the north side of Fredericksburg, inside the city limits. It's about a mile from Fredericksburg Elementary and just a few minutes' drive to Main Street. You'll recognize the street names — Stone Oak, Stone Meadow, Stone Gate, Stoneledge and Hedgestone.

What kind of homes are in Stone Ridge?

Mostly one-story Hill Country style homes — stone, stucco, metal roofs — built from the 2000s through today, with new phases and new construction still going. Lots are a nice size for in-town, generally about a quarter acre to just under half an acre. Several local builders work here, so you'll find a mix of builder plans and true custom homes.

What are the HOA dues in Stone Ridge?

Very reasonable. Sold MLS records show HOA dues of roughly $47 to $65 a year. There's an HOA with deed restrictions that protect the look of the neighborhood, but it's not a high-fee amenity community.

Can you do a short-term rental in Stone Ridge?

No. None of the 111 homes sold in Stone Ridge had a city STR permit, and the neighborhood is a residential zone where new STRs are restricted. That's actually a big part of the appeal for full-time residents — your neighbors are your neighbors.

Is Stone Ridge good for families?

Yes, it's one of the best in-town options for families. You're close to the elementary school, the streets are quiet, and homes are newer, so you're not inheriting a long list of updates. It's also popular with retirees who want a single-story home without moving into an age-restricted community.
