New Post is a semi-rural neighborhood that's still close to town
New Post is a growing Fredericksburg suburb packed to the brim with activity and recreation. “New Post is a more rural area, but there’s a lot of new construction going on,” says Tracey Farmer, Realtor with Century 21 Redwood Realty and a local expert in Spotsylvania County real estate. She notes many commuters to Washington, DC, have been moving to the area as of late. “They get more house and a lot of times more land for their money,” Farmer says about the area.

Midcentury and modern developments
Though one pocket of the neighborhood closest to Downtown Fredericksburg has smaller 1940s and 1950s homes with price tags on the lower end of things — a three-bedroom, one-bathroom bungalow with 1,000 square feet goes for around $275,000 — most of the housing was built from the late 1980s to today, with plenty of new construction underway and a median single-family sales price of $501,000. Subdivisions are well-planned, with winding streets, some with sidewalks and some without, and home styles like Colonial Revival; most have one- or two-car garages.
