Living in Richmond, VA
Downtown Richmond is growing into a mecca for creative, unique homes. Whether you are buying or leasing, options are abundant — from the restoration of historic buildings to the new construction of sleek high-rises and modern townhomes.
The imagination of Richmond developers converting old places into new spaces has grown more innovative and exciting in the past few years. There is a “wow” factor in downtown residential buildings that you can’t find anywhere else. Imagine living in a former car dealership, a paper plant, a tobacco warehouse, an insurance headquarters, an armory, a bakery, a school or even in the Fountain of Deliverance.
Urban living has all the modern comforts of home that you’d expect to find anywhere — granite, stainless steel, jacuzzis, fireplaces, garages — yet so much more, like rooftop decks and pools and one-minute commutes. There are tons of restaurants within walking distance, and many are locally owned. The views from downtown are unbelievable, from water towers to white-water rapids, skylines to pristine landscapes, spaghetti works to railroad tracks, sunbathers to joggers, from vast fields of trees to blue herons and eagles; and, in some lofts, you can see it all.
