Cedarhurst neighborhood is characterized by lush nature and peaceful residential streets.
Cedarhurst's quiet streets near the James River
Just south of the James River, Cedarhurst is a quiet Richmond neighborhood with convenient access to natural spaces and city life. The area developed largely in the mid-20th century, and its mature tree canopy adds to its established character. Streets are quiet and primarily residential, but main thoroughfares like Forest Hill Avenue and Jahnke Road are active with local businesses just outside of the community. Proximity to expansive parkland along the James gives locals easy outdoor access for hiking, biking and enjoying the water. While Cedarhurst feels removed from the city's active commercial scene, Downtown Richmond is just 5 miles away.
Brick ranch homes and Cape Cods with midcentury bones
The community was primarily developed between the mid-1940s and the early 1960s, with ranch-style homes and Cape Cods lining the streets. Hardwood floors, fireplaces and solid brick exteriors reflect the area's midcentury character, and many homes have been updated with modern finishes while retaining original details. You'll find spacious, tree-shaded lots throughout the neighborhood, and most homes sit on quarter to half-acre properties. Single-family homes start in the mid-$200,000s and reach the mid-$400,000s. “A house in good condition would average just around $300,000 in this area,” says Cindy Allen, a Realtor at Metro Premier Homes. Riverside Heights adds a small selection of townhomes built in 2016, with prices ranging from the high $300,000s to the mid-$400,000s. According to Allen, inventory in Cedarhurst is very low and houses tend to leave the market quickly.
