Character-rich homes, from Victorians to new construction
Homes in Bon Air are primarily single-family houses on spacious, forested lots. “It’s more of an eclectic collection of homes,” says Realtor Jason Hester with Rashkind Saunders & Co. Real Estate, who's sold numerous homes in the area. “You’ve got your old Victorians on Buford Road that date back to the 19th century, the post-war ranchers and Cape Cods, and the split-levels built in the 1970s to 1990s.” New construction homes are often inspired by farmhouse and Craftsman styles. You can also find townhouses and condos, mostly with shed-style architecture.

No matter where you live in Bon Air, you’re a short drive from grocery stores and restaurants. “The biggest addition to Bon Air lately is they added a Trader Joe’s,” says Scott Dearnley, a real estate agent with Joyner Fine Properties who has 25 years of experience. “I can’t tell you how many people I talk to who want to know where the nearest Trader Joe’s is. In Bon Air, it’s literally right there.” The area where Buford Road meets Huguenot is also home to Good Foods Grocery and several restaurants, including Joe’s Inn Bon Air, Coco + Hazel and Perk!

The annual Victorian Days Parade and Festival celebrates the history of the neighborhood.
An established suburban community and former summer resort
One of Bon Air’s biggest appeals is its proximity to the city while still having an established suburban atmosphere. “If you want that closer-in feel, to be close to the city while still being in the county, I think a lot of folks tend to gravitate toward Bon Air for that,” Dearnley says. The area’s identity is closely tied to its history as a summer resort area for Richmond’s elite in the late 1800s. Each May, the Victorian Days Parade and Festival brings the community together, with many residents dressing up in Victorian costumes.
