What people are saying about Fredericksburg | |
| Fredericksburg Living | |
| I am buying a small single family home here in the Falls Run development in Fredericksburg, as well as keeping my large single family home in Maryland for some time until I can transfer all my belonging (two kayak trailers and eight kayaks) . I plan to stay in Fredericksburg for approximately a decade. The kayaking and hiking opportunities are tremendous here, and, since I am into Civil War history, journeying on hallowed ground in this area is another positive aspect that this location will have. The real estate taxes and hazard insurance will be half of what I pay in Maryland, and the location is closer to where many of my friends live. I realize that many retirees are looking for bingo games or golfing in their preferred locations, but I prefer to hike and kayak. So, this is the best place for me. One day I hope to get a small home in Albuquerque, but this is my temporary dream to be fulfilled. In the end, one has to go where one will be with joy in one\'s heart. And everyone has different goals and wishes, so use the remaining years to be where you are at peace and happy. Godspeed to all. | |

| John - how about adding Fawn Lake to your list of spots to be considered by retirees. West of Fredericksburg on Rt 3 about 12 miles, it has all of the same amenities as Lake Monticello near Charlottesville and is equally distant from DC or Richmond. Good wineries in the area too. It\'s not age restricted, but there are plenty of retirees here. Hope all is well with you. Dave Hi Dave Fawn Lake is here, this is the link: http://www.topretirements.com/reviews/Virginia/Fredericksburg/Fawn%20Lake.html Listed in the VA Directory (Find a Community) under Fredericksburg. Sounds nice | |
