Great Reasons To Move To Fredericksburg, Texas

By Pammy McGrath


In general, Texas is the fastest growing state in the country, and the towns and cities of Texas Hill Country are definitely great areas to consider if you want to head to the Lone Star State. Fredericksburg is an excellent option for people who wish to move to Texas, and here are a few good reasons why.

Founded in 1846, this Texas Hill Country town is filled with historic ambiance. In fact, the entire downtown historic district is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. For a history buff, living in a historic town such as Fredericksburg can be a dream come true. When you are searching for homes for sale in Fredericksburg, TX, you can even find a few historic gems among the offerings.

Another reason to consider moving to Fredericksburg is that while it is a quiet, peaceful small town, it is only about an hour from the large metropolitan areas of San Antonio and Austin. So you can enjoy all the amenities that large cities have to offer without having to live in a bustling metro area yourself.

Fredericksburg has only about 10,500 residents, but this small town is packed with interesting activities for residents and visitors. If you love nature, you can hike, bike or camp in Enchanted Rock State Park. Texas Hill Country is filled with caves and caverns and you can find a manmade "cave" at Old Tunnel State Park. This cave is actually an old railroad tunnel that is no longer in use, and thousands of people journey to this park every year to visit the multitude of Brazilian free-tailed bats that come from May to October on their migratory path.

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.
