A historic city in a growing region

Fredericksburg is an independent city on the Rappahannock River, midway between Richmond and Northern Virginia. Its downtown historic district holds homes and storefronts from the 18th and 19th centuries, while College Heights, Fall Hill and Mayfield offer early- and mid-20th-century homes. Surrounding Stafford and Spotsylvania counties have grown quickly with commuter subdivisions and townhome communities.

Storm history

The Rappahannock has flooded the city’s lower streets many times, including in 1942 and during Hurricane Agnes in 1972. Today, most claims come from summer thunderstorms, wind, tree falls and hail. Remnants of tropical systems bring several inches of rain and the occasional tornado to the region.

Housing mix

Questions from Fredericksburg property owners

Does an insurance appraiser in Fredericksburg serve Stafford and Spotsylvania?

Yes. We work across the region, including Stafford, Spotsylvania, King George and Caroline counties.

My downtown home is in the historic district. Does that matter?

It can. Review requirements may raise repair costs, and ordinance-or-law coverage may apply to the difference.
