Northside midsized homes in Edgewood
Tucked into Richmond’s popular Northside area, Edgewood is a cozy neighborhood with a whole lot of charm. Development of this area began in the 1920s as one of Richmond’s first “streetcar suburbs,” and while the adjacent community of Ginter Park is home to large estates on sprawling lots, Edgewood offers residents a beautiful area brimming with unique midsized homes at a lower price point.

Tidy lots and an active community atmosphere
“The houses in Edgewood are not your run-of-the-mill neighborhood homes,” says J.T. Talley, Realtor with Hometown Realty. “They have a lot of character and quirkiness that you don’t frequently find.” Take a stroll through the leafy streets of Edgewood and you’ll see brick ranch homes, Cape Cods and colonials perched on tidily landscaped lots averaging a quarter acre. The neighborhood’s wide roads offer ample space for street parking, and some properties provide off-street parking behind the homes, accessible by well-maintained back alleys. “It’s got a really fun, neighborly feel,” Talley says. “You’ll see people out walking their dogs and talking to each other.” These homes range in price from $250,000 to $550,000, often depending on whether the house has been updated. “A lot of people are buying older homes and renovating them really nicely,” Talley says. “Inventory is low, and houses are not staying on the market very long.”
