Richmond is the state capital, right on the falls of the James River. Homes run from 1800s rowhouses to warehouse lofts to mid-century brick, and it's the center of the metro we work in every day.
Every part of Richmond has its own look and housing stock. Here are the names that come up most:
Not many cities have Class III and IV rapids running through downtown. Richmond does, and the parks system follows the river out across the city.
I-95 and I-64 meet in the city, with I-195, the Powhite Parkway and the Downtown Expressway connecting the West End and Southside. The GRTC Pulse bus rapid transit line runs along Broad Street. Amtrak stops at Main Street Station downtown. Richmond International Airport is roughly 15 minutes east of downtown outside rush hour.
You'll see row homes, Victorians, Craftsman bungalows, brick ranches, loft condos and new infill construction. A lot of the housing is older, so inspections, permits and renovation history matter more here than in newer suburbs. We help buyers ask the right questions, and we help sellers get ahead of what a buyer's inspector will flag.
Buying your first place in the city or selling a house you've owned for years, we'll go over recent sales, pricing and timing for your street.
