Great Reasons To Move To Fredericksburg, Texas

By Pammy McGrath


There are many reasons why people continue to relocate to Texas, and not the least of which is that this huge state offers a variety of interesting towns and cities in which to reside. There is a little something for everyone in Texas, and if you love the scenic beauty and charm of Texas Hill Country, consider a move to Fredericksburg.

If you love history, Fredericksburg has much to offer including a beautiful downtown area with dozens of 19th-century buildings. The downtown area is even part of the National Register of Historic Places. For those searching for Fredericksburg real estate, you might even wish to take a look at some historic properties during your home search.

While it's not far from huge Texas cities such as San Antonio and the Capitol of Austin, Fredericksburg captures that small-town ambiance that you might be seeking. You drive into the city for sporting events and cultural events or shopping and still enjoy peace and quiet at home. So if you want to get away from cities and sprawling suburbs but still occasionally enjoy what the city has to offer, Fredericksburg would be an excellent option.

It might be small, with fewer than 11,000 residents, but this town offers plenty for residents to see and do. For outdoor enthusiasts, you can explore the unique geography of Texas Hill Country by visiting Enchanted Rock State Park, which is just minutes away and offers hiking, rock climbing, backpacking and camping. Old Tunnel State Park is another fun nearby attraction that includes an old railroad tunnel, which you can explore at certain times of the year. In May through October, many visitors head to this park to see the Brazilian free-tailed bats that flock to the tunnel during their annual migration.

If you prefer cultural activities, live music and live theater abound in Fredericksburg and there are plenty of galleries and museums, including the Pioneer Museum and Vereins Kirche Museum. The town's most impressive museum is the vast National Museum of the Pacific War. Admission to this museum also includes admission to the Admiral Nimitz State Historic Site. Not only does this site honor the life of Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, commander of the Pacific fleet, it is located in the beautiful historic home built by his grandfather back in 1852.

There are many different choices to consider when searching for Fredericksburg real estate. The homes for sale include everything from large parcels of land where you can build your dream home to newly-constructed single-family homes.
