Turnberry East at Lee's Hill: A 55+ Community Spotlight in Fredericksburg

By Barbara Jennings · September 14, 2026

Turnberry East is a 55+ age-restricted active adult neighborhood tucked inside the master-planned Lee's Hill golf community in the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania area. Built and sold out over a decade ago, it is now a resale-only neighborhood where buyers find a lock-and-leave home with access to golf, pools, and miles of trails. If you are downsizing and want single-level living without giving up amenities, here is what makes Turnberry East worth a closer look.

Where Is Turnberry East Located?

Turnberry East sits in the 22408 area of Spotsylvania County, just off the Old Dominion Parkway and Grandstaff Road, on the southern edge of the greater Fredericksburg area. That location puts it within a short drive of downtown Fredericksburg, shopping along Route 3, and the hospitals and medical offices clustered around the region's main corridors.

Home Styles: Built for Single-Level Living

Turnberry East was built by Hazel Homes between roughly 2007 and 2013, and it includes about 60 attached homes. The floor plans are single-level and low-maintenance, split into two styles:

  • Patio homes, roughly 1,670 to 1,710 square feet
  • Villa homes, roughly 1,881 to 2,045 square feet

Nearly all are two-bedroom, two-bath homes, and most include a one- or two-car attached garage. Because the homes are single-level and attached, upkeep is modest, which is exactly the kind of low-maintenance lifestyle many Virginia retirees are looking for.

What Does It Cost to Buy In?

Because Turnberry East is sold out, buying means finding a resale home. Recent closed sales in the neighborhood have generally fallen in the low-to-mid $300,000s, with listings in recent periods ranging from roughly $309,500 to $359,900 and a median around $335,500. That price point, combined with low HOA dues, makes it a comparatively affordable way to enjoy golf-community living in the Fredericksburg area.

What Does the HOA Cover?

HOA dues at Turnberry East have typically run in the range of about $82 to $169 per month. In exchange, residents get exterior and common-area maintenance, landscaping, and access to the community's amenities. As with any active adult community, it is always wise to review the current HOA documents and fee schedule during a purchase, since the figures can shift from year to year.

Amenities: Pools, Golf, and Trails

Turnberry East residents enjoy two outdoor pools and four tennis courts, and they are part of the larger Lee's Hill community, which brings more recreation close to home:

  • The 18-hole Lee's Hill Golf Course
  • Two community centers, including the North Community Center on Essex Court with a rentable multi-purpose room
  • A fitness center and business center
  • Miles of walking and biking trails plus scenic, stocked lakes for catch-and-release fishing

The Lee's Hill-wide amenities also add basketball and soccer fields and playgrounds, so the neighborhood feels connected to a broader, active community while Turnberry East itself stays focused on the 55+ lifestyle.

Is Turnberry East Right for You?

Turnberry East tends to suit retirees who want the convenience of a single-level, attached home, the social life of an active adult community, and the recreation of a golf community without the upkeep of a large house and yard. Because it is resale-only, availability varies, so patience and the help of a local advisor who knows the neighborhood can make a real difference in finding the right floor plan at the right price.
