Fredericksburg, TX Homes and Neighborhoods

Fredericksburg is the county seat of Gillespie County, a German-founded Hill Country town settled in 1846 whose stone houses, downtown shops, wineries and peach orchards draw visitors from San Antonio and Austin, each a drive of roughly 70 to 80 miles. Buyers look here for a full-time home in a small town with real character, a weekend place in wine country, or acreage in the hills outside town. Because the town is such a draw for visitors, two local questions come up early for buyers: what you can do with a home in the historic district, and whether a home can be rented to guests.

Buying a Home in Fredericksburg

Homes here range from small houses and condos in town to large Hill Country properties, and the homes for sale on this page show what is listed and at what asking prices. Set up listing alerts for your price range so matching homes reach you quickly, and if the choices in your range look thin, widen your search a little on either side.

Wherever your budget falls, eligible buyers who work with Mindy Thomas, broker/owner of Mindy Thomas Realty, receive a Buyer Rebate, subject to applicable requirements. A licensed real estate broker in Texas and Colorado, she brings over 18 years of experience to the search and holds the Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR®) designation and the e-PRO® and SFR® certifications.

The Homes

Homes in Fredericksburg are almost all single-family homes, built mostly between the 1980s and the 2020s. Expect mostly three- and four-bedroom homes, most of them about 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft on standard-size lots, and mostly single-level homes. You can browse builder homes on the new construction page and the town's older houses on the historic homes page, or see the newest homes page.

Homes with Acreage

Homes on an acre or more are a different purchase from a home in town, typically with larger houses on far larger tracts and priced well above homes in town. Many of these properties carry a Fredericksburg address but sit outside city limits in Gillespie County, which can mean a private well, a septic system and different rules on how the property can be used. Mindy has lived on Hill Country acreage for about two decades and knows wells, septic systems and rural land from the owner's side. Browse them on the homes with acreage page.

HOAs

Many homes in the subdivisions have a mandatory HOA; older homes in town and rural properties often have none. Where there is one, read the deed restrictions before you offer, especially if you plan a guest house, livestock or renting to visitors.

The Historic District

Fredericksburg protects its historic district, which the city expanded in 2019, along with individual landmarks outside it. Exterior changes to a historic property need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the city, approved by staff or by the Historic Review Board, and the city's design guidelines shape what you can change. If a house you like is in the district or is a landmark, check the city's zoning map and talk to the Historic Preservation Officer before you plan a renovation or addition.

Short-Term Rentals and Bed and Breakfasts

Inside city limits, renting a home or guest quarters for stays under 30 days requires a city short-term rental permit. The city issues several kinds, including bed and breakfast rooms in an owner's homestead, an owner-occupied home with an accessory unit, and homes the owner does not live in, and where each is allowed depends on the property's zoning. Permits can transfer to a new owner after an inspection. The rules can change, so if rental income matters to your purchase, confirm the property's zoning and permit status with the City of Fredericksburg before you make an offer. Properties outside city limits follow different rules, and HOA restrictions can apply either way.

Selling a Home in Fredericksburg

From a stone house near Main Street to acreage in the hills, Mindy Thomas Realty lists homes for a 1.95% listing fee with full-service marketing, including professional photography, drone photography of the land and views, floor plans, virtual staging where appropriate, and online advertising. Any buyer-broker compensation is negotiated separately.

Schools

Most of the area is served by Fredericksburg ISD, which covers the city and nearby communities including Stonewall, Luckenbach, Willow City and Albert. Its campuses include Fredericksburg Primary, Fredericksburg Elementary, Stonewall Elementary, Fredericksburg Middle School and Fredericksburg High School. Some rural addresses fall in other districts, so confirm the assignment for any home you are serious about with the district.

Living in Fredericksburg

Downtown along Main Street is the center of town life, with shops, restaurants, the Marktplatz and the National Museum of the Pacific War, which honors Fredericksburg native Admiral Chester Nimitz. Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park, a 330-acre city park south of downtown off Highway 16, has trails along Live Oak Creek, a summer pool, sports fields and courts. Enchanted Rock State Natural Area is about 17 miles north, and the wineries along US 290 and the peach stands around Stonewall are part of everyday life here. Gillespie County Airport and Hill Country Memorial Hospital are both on Highway 16. For nearby towns, see Kerrville to the southwest, Comfort and Boerne down US 87 toward San Antonio, and Hunt on the Guadalupe River beyond Kerrville.

Questions to Ask Before Making an Offer

Is the home inside city limits, and is it in the historic district or a designated landmark?
If you plan to rent it to guests, does its zoning allow the type of short-term rental permit you need, and does an existing permit transfer?
Is there an HOA, and what do its deed restrictions say about rentals, outbuildings and animals?
On rural property, what are the condition and capacity of the well and septic system?
Does the property have city gas service, propane or all-electric utilities?
Is the home in a FEMA flood zone, and will your lender require flood insurance?
Which school district serves the address?
