A small neighborhood 5 miles from Richmond's heart

Deerbourne has all the makings of a classic American suburb. The small neighborhood comprises sturdy homes, close-quartered yards and a dynamic community center with robust programs. And most essentially, it's quiet and friendly. Residents are drawn to the community's desirable price points, which sit lower than many neighborhoods in Richmond, leading to an in-demand housing market.

Deerbourne features comfortable Ranch style homes mostly built in the 1960s.

Ranch-styles from the 1960s

Deerbourne Residents live in 1960s ranch-style homes that typically feature between 1,100 and 1,500 square feet with three bedrooms. These houses sit on quarter-acre lots with well-tended lawns and simple, tidy landscaping. Long side yard driveways lead to detached garages or carports that fit multiple cars, along with plenty of available street parking. Homes typically cost between $200,000 and $300,000. "When homes in this part of town are ready to go and updated, there is high demand," says Issac Abdelmalak, Realtor at Virginia Capital Realty. "In that case, they only last for a few days on the market." The comparatively lower price points to other parts of Richmond, coupled with low inventory, have led to high demand. According to Abdelmalak, multiple offers are common on homes in this area.

Seafood at Crab Hut or tacos at Azteca Mexican

Crab Hut on Terminal Avenue is a popular spot for dinner. The locally-owned business operates out of a small, tucked-away building, often with big pots outside steaming up fresh crabs and shrimp. And they sell out quickly due to high demand. Locals in the mood for authentic Mexican grab beef tacos in fresh corn tortillas at Azteca Mexican on Richmond Highway. Residents also grab takeout from Lucky Chinese, which offers staples like tangy General Tso's Chicken and crispy egg rolls. Shoppers pick up groceries right down the road at Big Apple Supermarket or head to Dollar General for everyday essentials. For a shopping spree, locals hop on Chippenham Parkway and head to the Chesterfield Towne Center, 10 miles away. The large commercial area features a sprawling mall, many familiar retailers like Target, Costco and Home Depot and extensive dining and entertainment options.

The Crab Hut is a local favorite for fresh seafood in the Deerbourne neighborhood.
