Brauers
Suburban Neighborhood in Richmond, Virginia
Richmond City County 23223
Primely located just north of downtown Richmond and sandwiched between hot spots of revitalization in Northside and Church Hill, Brauers is a laidback, affordable neighborhood in the midst of a major upswing.
The exciting revitalization taking place in Brauers is reflected on a stroll through the neighborhood’s tree-canopied streets, where you’ll find cute cottages and bungalows built in the mind-1900s perched on tidy lots with shallow front lawns. Many of these homes remain in original condition but increasingly, these homes are receiving full renovations and modern updates. Properties in Brauers range in price from $175,000 for a three-bedroom cottage without updates to $360,000 for a fully renovated three-bedroom American Foursquare.
“You can find great value here,” says Ray Rivera, Realtor with EXP Realty LLC. “These homes are a fraction of the cost of what it would be if you picked it up and moved it a mile or mile and a half in another direction.” According to Rivera, this lower price point — which has become harder to find in Richmond in recent years — is in high demand. “In that area, if it’s a charming-looking home that’s priced right, you’re going to be looking at single-digit days on the market for the most part,” he says.
Students in Brauers can attend Woodville Elementary School, Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School and Armstrong High School, which all belong to the Richmond Public Schools district. Armstrong High School, home of the Wildcats, offers students the opportunity to participate in the Armstrong Leadership Program in partnership with the community non-profit Richmond Hill. The program sponsors roughly 50 students each year and helps prepare them for success during and after high school by providing mentorship and opportunities for personal development, service and leadership.
Brauers residents can play ball at Lucks Field, tucked right in the neighborhood on North 20th Street. Featuring baseball fields, basketball courts and tennis courts, there’s plenty of space to run around. Enjoy a quick workout on the new outdoor gym equipment while kids climb the colorful jungle gym. In the heat of summer, hop into your swimsuit and walk to Fairmount Pool. This large, sparkling community pool is kept clean and staffed with lifeguards.
When you need to stock the fridge, The Market at 25th is the place to go. This local, community-driven grocery store is on a mission to bring affordable, high-quality food to an area that was once a food desert. Individuals using the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) can take advantage of a half-off discount on fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables year-round.
For quick snacks and beverages, head to the neighborhood corner store, 24/7 Convenient Food Mart. The daily essentials can be snagged nearby at Family Dollar on North 25th Street.
When hungry, head to Pizza Bones in Union Hill for a deliciously cheesy pie. Grab a picnic table out front and enjoy the open-air urban ambiance, lit with string lights. Build your own 14-inch pie and savor their striking sourdough crust. Don’t forget to browse their natural wine room, Friend Bar, next door and pair a bottle with your meal or opt to save it for later.
With proximity to Interstate 64, you can get anywhere in the greater Richmond area quickly and easily.
For enjoyable urban living in a central location, look no further than Brauers.
