Life here

What is it like to live in Fishersville?

Fishersville has no town hall or downtown square. It is a census-designated place of about 13.1 square miles that grew along U.S. 250 and Interstate 64 between two cities, and its population rose from 7,462 in 2010 to 9,629 in 2020. Because it is unincorporated, you pay Augusta County taxes and use county services, not those of Staunton or Waynesboro, even though the mailing addresses can look similar.

Its anchors are institutional. Augusta Health, formed in 1994 by merging King's Daughters Hospital in Staunton with Waynesboro Community Hospital, is a 255-bed hospital here near I-64, and a cardiovascular center opened in 2013. The Woodrow Wilson Complex holds the Augusta County school offices, Wilson Memorial High School and Valley Career and Technical Center. The state's Wilson Workforce and Rehabilitation Center is also in the community.

History runs deeper than the roadside suggests. The Tinkling Spring area was settled by 1740, when its Presbyterian congregation was founded. Today the land mixes farm fields, newer subdivisions and commercial strips, and the Blue Ridge fills the eastern horizon. Fishersville is a place you drive to and through, with most errands done by car.

Neighborhoods & homes

Fishersville neighborhoods and homes

The Bright MLS sample here is small. Recent closed sales with a Fishersville address, as of October 2026, totaled 12, 11 houses and one townhome. Most fell between $360,000 and $450,000, with a median near $450,000, a typical build year around 2008, about 2,350 square feet and roughly a third of an acre. No Fishersville homes were active on Bright at that time. Bright covers only part of the local market, and the Augusta County MLS feed has more, so use these only as a rough snapshot.

Newer subdivision houses

A median build year near 2008 and a size above 2,300 square feet suggest mostly 1990s-to-2010s houses on lots around a third of an acre. Expect attached garages and modern layouts. Ask about HOA covenants and whether public water and sewer serve the street.

Rural and farm-edge properties

Beyond the subdivisions, county roads such as Tinkling Spring Road (Route 608) run past larger parcels. Outside the utility service area you may rely on a well and septic, so request water tests and a septic inspection.

Townhomes

A single townhome appears in the recent sales, so this type is less common here than in nearby Waynesboro. Check dues and rental rules for any community you consider.
