Fredericksburg’s 40-block historic district and the neighborhoods that border it epitomize the live-work-play lifestyle that is so sought after these days. Downtown residents walk to libraries, parks, offices, restaurants, galleries, and a train station serviced by the Virginia Railway Express and Amtrak for easy access to Washington, D.C., and other destinations. The downtown is a patchwork of close-knit neighbors with homes featuring unique architectural features and personalities all their own.
