Fredericksburg is a charming, walkable Texas Hill Country hub — think a historic Main Street of independent shops, farm-to-table restaurants, art galleries and tasting rooms, plus quick access to dozens of wineries and outdoor escapes like Enchanted Rock, making it an enjoyable place to live for several weeks between shifts.
San Antonio is about an hour’s drive away for major hospitals, airports and big-city entertainment, so you get small-town rhythm with easy urban access.
