An affluent mix of suburbia and commerce
“To this day, I’m very happy I moved to Short Pump because it’s been a great place to raise my boys,” says Bernice Sim, a licensed realtor with RE/MAX Commonwealth, team lead for the Happy New Beginnings Team and 14-year resident of Short Pump. “I love my neighborhood and the kids, now mostly grown, have made lifelong friends here. Also, it is so conveniently located! I live five minutes from Trader Joe’s, Home Depot, Target, Best Buy. Everything.” An affluent mix of suburbia and commerce, Short Pump serves up some of Richmond’s best restaurants and most popular shopping stops. The homes are mostly modern or late twentieth century, many streets are lined with sidewalks, and the local schools make the area one of Richmond’s most sought-after places to call home. “Convenient, amenities galore, and cool,” Sim says. “It’s a very coveted area.”
Short Pump has a mix of large houses and more affordable townhomes.
Short Pump is a suburb northwest of Richmond and is best known for its large mall.

High demand reflected in high prices
Housing options are extensive throughout the Short Pump area, though inventory is low and demand is high. Much of the homes are single-family dwellings with styles ranging from Colonial-revival to modern farmhouse, but the common theme is space. These homes often sit on lots roughly a quarter-acre in size and hold more than 3,500 square feet of space. Adding variety but doing little to reduce costs, condos and townhouses make up much of the area’s new construction. Prices reflect high demand and low inventory and can range from $300,000 for a one-bedroom condo with 1,100 square feet to more than $2 million for a modern, six-bedroom Mediterranean villa with more than 7,400 square feet. “It’s super desirable - location, location, location!,” Sim says. “It’s still less expensive than Northern Virginia, so that’s one bragging point right now.”
Large new American style homes are common on the outskirts of the neighborhood.
Many Colonial Revival homes sit on Wilane Road in Short Pump.

Short Pump Town Center and so much more
“Before I was in real estate, I was drawn here by the schools, shopping, and easy access to the highways,” Sim says. “There’s some great restaurants around Short Pump, and all of its conveniences are within arms reach for me and my family. That was a great selling point.” Short Pump Town Center is the area’s main shopping and dining destination. Residents can head to this outdoor mall and enjoy the standup comedy at The Richmond Funnybone, or they can experience the Indian cuisine of Lehja, labeled the best Indian restaurant outside of DC by Todd Kliman of Washingtonian. “I moved from Boston, where there were three Trader Joe’s,” Sim says. “And when I thought about moving to Richmond I saw that there was only one Trader Joe’s here at the time. That was in Short Pump.”

West Broad Street and connections to the city

Festivities for all beliefs
Kehillah, Virginia’s independent, progressive Jewish community, holds annual Purim and Hanukkah parties, which have attracted families from all over the area. “They have a Christmas tree lighting every year at West Broad Village and Short Pump Town Center ,” Sim says. “And this year they had a Grinch Brunch at Park Lane Tavern that was very popular.”
Nearing development capacity
“The only concern would be that the area is extremely popular,” Sim says. “So there’s not a lot of space to expand. Whatever is built is mostly built, which sometimes causes prices of homes to be higher. Price per square foot is often higher than some other places around Richmond.”
Clustered townhomes are the most common and affordable housing option in Short Pump.
Rows of newly built townhomes sit in pockets surrounding the commercial center.
