Brauers blends historic rowhouses with revitalized green spaces
Brauers is a neighborhood in Richmond's East End with deep local roots and a strong sense of community.

Recent investment has brought new recreation and a community center, while free public transit makes it easy to get around the city. The restaurants and amenities of Union Hill and Church Hill are close at hand, and Downtown Richmond is about 2 miles away. Buyers are drawn to the community's attractive home prices that fall below the city's median.
Easy access to I-64 and I-95 makes Brauers an ideal place to live if you have to commute.
