Bellvue offers a convenient place to call home, where residents can both have their slice of suburbia and enjoy everything that historic Downtown Fredericksburg, just 5 miles away, has to offer. It's a neighborhood where convenience is key and access to all of Fredericksburg’s major attractions is easy.
The neighborhood has something for everyone, housing-wise. “Bellvue has an array of different types of homes,” says Tracey Farmer, Realtor with Century 21 Redwood Realty and a local expert in Spotsylvania County real estate. “There’s some new construction and a lot of older homes. You can find houses from 900 square feet to more than 3,000 square feet, and a range of prices.” House hunters can find a mix of residential streets and more formal subdivisions dotted with 1950s Cape Cods and cottages, 1970s ramblers and split-levels, and contemporary and brand-new construction town houses and single-family homes. Prices range from the low $200,000s for a three-bedroom townhouse to the upper-$600,000s for a six-bedroom home on a large half-acre lot.
Kids in Bellvue attend Spotsylvania County Public Schools, like Spotswood Elementary School, rated C by Niche, Battlefield Middle School, rated C-plus, and Massaponax High School, rated B-minus. Massaponax High offers students the opportunity to participate in a four-year Commonwealth Governor’s School program, a challenging course of study for gifted and highly-motivated learners. Students in the program spend half a day at their regular high school and half a day at one of the six Commonwealth Governor’s School sites.
Many opportunities for recreation are accessible from Bellvue. Take Lafayette Boulevard to get to City Dock Park, where residents can enjoy waterfront views or launch a kayak or canoe. Alum Spring Park is about four miles from homes, and offers walking trails and playgrounds. Residents can join the Spotswood Swim Club in the summer, or an adult league year-round at Fredericksburg Field House such as flag football, soccer, or volleyball. Bellvue is also minutes from the Fredericksburg Battlefield Visitor Center, which memorializes the area’s Civil War battle of 1862. History buffs can spend many hours exploring the National Park Service’s walking trails and historic sites recognizing Fredericksburg’s role in the war.
Lafayette Boulevard and Route 1 are the two main commercial thoroughfares in the neighborhood from which most residential streets branch off. Get your groceries and other necessities at either Weis Markets or Four Mile Fork Center, home to ALDI, Dollar Tree, and Ollie’s Bargain Outlet. There are plenty of places to grab a bite, whether it be fast food like Chick-fil-A, McDonald’s, or Taco Bell, or mom-and-pop restaurants like Lafayette Diner or Jimmy the Greek. Fredericksburg’s greatest retail hub is only about 5 miles away at Spotsylvania Town Center and Central Park Plaza, which boast more than 250 additional shops and restaurants. Other important services are close at hand, too; Bellvue is within 5 miles from Mary Washington Hospital, and the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU also has a multispecialty center within the neighborhood.
Getting around Bellevue by car is easy. Commuters can take the Virginia Railway Express, known locally as the VRE, all the way to DC’s Union Station; the Fredericksburg station is a straight shot from the neighborhood, about four miles down Lafayette Boulevard. Interstate 95, the neighborhood’s western border, is also easy to hop on and off.
