A tree-filled neighborhood of midcentury homes
Warwick on the James’ midcentury colonial, ranch-style and Cape Cod houses sit far back from the street on quarter-acre to half-acre lots shaded by mature oak and pine trees. “On any given day, you can see kids riding their bikes or families walking their dogs,” Cox says. Manicured front lawns share space with shrubs and flower beds, and driveways typically lead to attached garages. Prices usually range from around $300,000 to $750,000, depending on size. Some homes back up directly to the James River and have private piers and boat docks; these rarely come on the market.
