Celebrate is an active adult Del Webb community of over 1,000 homes in southern Stafford County. We enjoy activities at our community lodge, but also are Central Rappahannock Regional Library patrons and attend Fredericksburg area churches. We have access to Mary Washington Hospital and a good choice of doctors in Fredericksburg. We have grocery and drug stores as well as big box stores close by, but other shopping and dining options are limited along Route 17.
We are a multi-cultural community of retirees (or anticipating retirement) from many different regions of the United States. We appreciate living in such a historical area and participate in cultural programs through the University of Mary Washington.
Most of our residents are retired and over 55 years of age though a few are still working from home or commuting north. We enjoy our community’s proximity to the Rappahannock River, and many are gardeners and/or participate in environmental organizations. An environmental concern for some is noise pollution – from I-95 and loud summer concerts, baseball games, and fireworks on the other side of the river but only a few miles “as the crow flies.”
Route 17 is our “main street” and we have concerns about heavy truck traffic, too many auto parts stores, and a lack of quality restaurants. Celebrate residents would benefit from being in the same district as other communities along Route 17. When the 88th House District was formed in 2001, however, there was a “carve-out” around the 28th District. At that time, our community was undeveloped. We now have over 1,000 homes, and it is time for lines to be redrawn so we are fairly represented.
