When you live in Braehead, you’re surrounded by history, amenities, and conveniences in every direction. According to Tracey Farmer, Realtor with Century 21 Redwood Realty, “It’s close to Downtown Fredericksburg, it’s close to the Virginia Railway Express, and it’s close to Interstate 95. A lot of people commute to Northern Virginia and Washington, DC, and it’s really easy to do so from here.”
The houses, on streets and subdivisions that mostly branch off from Lafayette Boulevard, are primarily single-family homes. Braehead Woods is one subdivision in particular that is well-established, with mature trees and large lots. “These homes have a lot of character,” says Farmer. “A lot of them date back to the mid-1900s, but many have been renovated and most of the yards are meticulously manicured.” House hunters in Braehead can find a small mid-century cottage with less than 1,500 square feet for under $300,000, or a more contemporary build with twice the square footage for about $450,000.
Braehead students attend schools in the Fredericksburg City Public Schools district like Lafayette Elementary School, Walker-Grant Middle School, and James Monroe High School. James Monroe High, which Niche awards an overall B grade, offers a Career and Technical Education program to help students identify their interests and strengthen their post-education goals in subjects like Business and Information Technology and Marketing Education.
Braefield homeowners can have their pick of outdoor adventures. City Dock Park is a quick drive down Lafayette Boulevard, and here, residents can launch a kayak or canoe or just enjoy the views of the Rappahannock River. Alum Spring Park is just a few minutes from home, and a convenient place to take the kids to burn some energy off on the playground. There are also multiple sites in and around the neighborhood managed by the National Park Service for history buffs to explore, like the half-mile mile Lee’s Hill Trail, which winds up to the top of Robert E. Lee’s command post during the Civil War’s Battle of Fredericksburg.
Most of the neighborhood’s commerce is concentrated on the east side of Lee Drive and along Lafayette Boulevard. Businesses here are largely service-based, but there’s plenty of conveniences around. At Braehead Farm, you can pick your own fresh produce right out of the ground, pet some of the farm animals, and squash some spare time at the kid’s play area. Grab a meal at the highly-rated Jimmy the Greek, a traditional Greek restaurant with a strong breakfast game. Necessities can be acquired at Family Dollar, but for every other need or desire, one of the area’s largest retail and restaurant hubs is just 4 miles away. Collectively, Spotsylvania Town Center and Central Park Plaza boast more than 250 shops like Walmart, Target, and Macy’s, and restaurants with fare from around the globe.
Commuters have options from Braehead. The Virginia Railway Express is an easy 2-mile drive up Lafayette Boulevard; it takes about an hour and a half to get to the end of the line, DC’s Union Station. Interstate 95 is also within 3 miles of home, sweet home.
