Peaceful streets and access to city amenities in Brookbury
Situated just 7 miles south of downtown Richmond, the Brookbury neighborhood is one that locals like to describe as “close, but not too close.” That buffer zone between the quiet, tree-lined streets of Brookbury and the urban center to the north means that residents who work in the city can enjoy a peaceful retreat after a long workday. But potential buyers should be aware that the secret is out about the neighborhood, so patience is often required when house-hunting in the area. “There’s not a lot of inventory in the neighborhood,” says Joie Boykins, a Broker with EXP Realty who has represented real estate transactions in the area for more than two decades. “Brookbury is one of those neighborhoods where people buy and stay for a long time.” The lack of both sidewalks and any public transportation stops in the neighborhood means that personal transportation is a necessity for residents here. But with its proximity to nearby Chippenham Parkway, the neighborhood’s location means that residents can get to Chippenham Hospital in under 10 minutes’ drive and to downtown Richmond in 15 minutes.
21st century architecture on large lots
A variety of architectural styles is one of the hallmarks of Brookbury, where buyers will find homes ranging from single-story ranch-style homes to multi-story new-construction moderns. The median year of construction in the neighborhood is 2004, so potential buyers can expect to find plenty of contemporary updates to home interiors. The median price of real estate in Brookbury is $320,000, and buyers should expect to pay an average of $154 per square foot. “One of the key things about homes in Brookbury is the size of the lots,” says Boykins. “Most of the houses in the neighborhood sit on oversized lots, so you get a much larger yard than you would closer to downtown.” A four-bedroom/two-bathroom Colonial-inspired home can sell for $220,000, and prices can go up to $405,000 for a five-bedroom/four-bathroom Colonial-inspired home.

A short distance to athletic fields and the local YMCA
One thing that Brookbury can be said to lack is amenities within the neighborhood, a fact that arises from its being a strictly residential neighborhood. Nearby Stratton Park and Ukrop Park are both dedicated to sports fields used by area teams, though they do provide some outdoor space for working off some excess energy when not in use. The nearest city park to the neighborhood is Broadrock Park, a little over 2 miles away. The park provides visitors with a playground, courts for tennis, pickleball and basketball, and multiple sports fields. For indoor recreation, the same lack of nearby options exists, and the closest facility is the Manchester Family YMCA, located about 10 minutes’ drive west of the neighborhood. The YMCA offers health and fitness classes, as well as organized team sports, swimming and after-school programs.
Mary B. Stratton Park often hosts soccer tournaments.
The pickleball courts at Broad Rock Sports Park can fill up quickly.
