Historic riverfront living in downtown Fredericksburg’s Riverside
Downtown Fredericksburg's location along the Rappahannock River made it a key pre-Revolutionary War port and a significant Civil War site. Today, the area is still a prime location, sporting historic homes, mom-and-pop shops and restaurants, and fantastic opportunities for recreation along the Rappahannock. The Riverside neighborhood specifically is the portion of historic Downtown Fredericksburg that boasts Old Mill Park, the waterfront’s largest green space.

Early 20th-century bungalows and new homes on Normandy and Elmhurst
Some sections of Riverside, like Normandy Ave and Elmhurst Ave, are primarily residential, while other areas, like side streets closer to Route 1 and Route 17, are more heavily dotted by commerce. While you may be able to find the occasional town house or duplex, most homes are single-family, sporting styles like ramblers, bungalows, and Cape Cods. “For the most part, everything in that area is going to be older, from the early 1900s up to the 1950s, with some new construction homes scattered throughout,” says Chris Ognek, Broker and Owner of Q Real Estate. “It has a very well-established neighborhood feel. A lot of the houses are very well maintained and have been renovated over the years. You’ll find some smaller homes around 1,000 square feet, but then you’ll see some others that are 2,000 square feet or so.” House hunters could find a two-bedroom circa-1930s bungalow for $260,000 or a three-bedroom new-construction home for $550,000.
