Prices range from $175,000 to around $600,000, with lower-priced homes often built in the first half of the 20th century and in need of renovation and higher-priced homes spanning more than 2,000 square feet and sitting on multi-acre lots.
Residents head to Timberville Memorial Park for fresh air and exercise. The large green space overlooks the North Fork Shenandoah River and offers a playground with swings, a dog park, ball fields and picnic shelters.
