The King George Advantage

Perfectly Positioned Between Rivers

King George County sits in a truly special location—nestled between the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers in Virginia's historic Northern Neck region. This positioning gives residents the best of multiple worlds: riverside living, rural charm, and convenient access to major employment centers and attractions.

Proximity to Dahlgren Naval Base

For those working at or associated with the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division, this home's location is particularly appealing. Dahlgren is one of King George County's largest employers, with over 11,000 people working at the base. The facility has been a cornerstone of the community since 1918 and continues to be a premier naval research, development, and testing institution. Living in King George means you're part of a community with strong ties to this important naval installation.

Colonial Beach: Virginia's Hidden Gem

Just minutes away, Colonial Beach offers an unexpected treasure—Virginia's second-longest public beach. This charming riverside town features over two miles of sandy shoreline along the Potomac River, complete with a vibrant boardwalk, shops, restaurants, food trucks, and year-round events. Known affectionately as the "Playground on the Potomac," Colonial Beach provides endless opportunities for recreation, from swimming and boating to simply strolling the Frances Karn Boardwalk while enjoying waterfront dining.

The town hosts numerous festivals and events throughout the year, including the Boardwalk Arts & Crafts Festival, Potomac River Festival, and live concerts. With its laid-back beach town atmosphere, Colonial Beach offers the perfect weekend escape—right in your backyard.

Historic Fredericksburg and Beyond

King George provides easy access to historic Fredericksburg, where you'll find rich Civil War history, charming downtown shopping and dining, and cultural attractions. The area is steeped in American history, with nearby sites including George Washington's Birthplace National Monument and connections to James Monroe.

Major Transportation Routes

The home's location offers excellent connectivity. Route 301 provides direct access north and south, while I-95 is easily accessible for commuters. You're approximately one hour and fifteen minutes from both Reagan National Airport and Richmond International Airport, making travel convenient for work or leisure.

Family-Friendly Community

King George County Schools serve the area with a mission to "empower, engage, and inspire students in a caring, safe, and healthy learning environment." The county offers three elementary schools—King George Elementary, Potomac Elementary, and Sealston Elementary—all of which participate in before and after school programs through the Parks & Recreation Department.

Recreation and Outdoor Living

King George Parks & Recreation provides diverse programming for all ages, from youth sports leagues and gymnastics to summer day camps and special events. The county manages numerous parks, sports fields, and boat landings, many in partnership with the school system.

Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby Caledon State Park, a National Natural Landmark known for its old-growth forest and as a summer home to American bald eagles. The park features year-round trails, including Boyd's Hole Trail which leads to the Potomac River, along with picnic areas perfect for family outings.

For wine lovers, the area boasts several wineries and vineyards, including Monroe Bay Winery and Ingleside Vineyards, where you can savor local wines while enjoying beautiful water views.
