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.
