Village of Idlewild is one of Fredericksburg’s most sought-after planned communities—an inviting blend of traditional charm, modern amenities, and a strong sense of community spirit. Located just minutes from historic downtown, this neighborhood offers the kind of lifestyle that balances front-porch friendliness with resort-style convenience.

From the moment you enter, Village of Idlewild feels like its own little world—tree-lined boulevards, classic Colonial and Craftsman-style homes, and sidewalks that actually get used. Whether you’re in a single-family home, a stylish townhome, or a low-maintenance villa, every residence in Idlewild has been thoughtfully designed to feel both timeless and connected.

At the heart of the community is a beautifully designed clubhouse, complete with a fitness center, Olympic-size pool, tennis courts, playgrounds, and miles of wooded walking trails. There’s even a community garden and regular events—from food truck nights to seasonal festivals—that bring neighbors together in the best way.

Idlewild was built with walkability in mind. Quiet cul-de-sacs and pocket parks give kids space to roam and play, while adults enjoy morning jogs or evening strolls without needing to leave the neighborhood. It’s also incredibly well-located—just minutes from Route 1, I-95, and the Fredericksburg VRE station, making commutes easy and weekend getaways even easier.

You’re also close enough to Downtown Fredericksburg to enjoy its charm—dining, shopping, galleries, live music, and riverside parks—without giving up the tranquility of suburban life. That proximity, paired with Idlewild’s thoughtful layout and beautiful homes, creates a lifestyle that’s equal parts peaceful and vibrant.

Whether you’re raising a family, downsizing into something walkable, or just looking for a community that truly feels like one, Village of Idlewild is a neighborhood that lets you live well, stay connected, and love where you live.
