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.
“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.”
Students can attend Ginter Park Elementary School, Thomas H. Henderson Middle School and John Marshall High School, which all belong to the Richmond Public Schools district. John Marshall High has a strong athletics department, offering students year-round opportunities to participate in over a dozen sports, including basketball, football, track, cheerleading and tennis.
Get outdoors at North Central Park, a well-maintained triangular pocket park in the neighborhood featuring benches and mature trees. Toss a frisbee or spread out a picnic blanket for a nice afternoon lunch.
For more outdoor activities, head to Battery Park, located at the intersection of Hawthorne Avenue and Overbrook Road. This park features 12 tennis courts as well as basketball courts and horseshoe pits. Kids can enjoy two playgrounds with slides, tire swings and a miniature rock-climbing wall. During the summer, cool off in the park’s free community pool and splash pad.
When hungry, don’t miss the delicious smash burgers at Slay Burgers on Brookland Park Boulevard. Pair the Double Slay Burger with a side of loaded Philly Cheesesteak fries and you’re sure to leave with a full stomach.
For dessert, pop over to Ruby Scoops a few doors down. Rabia Kamara, the owner of this beloved local ice cream shop, was the winner of Food Network’s ice cream competition show, Ben & Jerry’s Clash of the Cones, in 2021. Enjoy a scoop or two of rich and creamy Cardamom Blueberry Cobbler.
For quick snacks and beverages, take a short walk to 7-Eleven on Laburnum Avenue, or head to Family Dollar for all the daily essentials. Grocery shopping can be done at Walmart or Food Lion with a 2.5-mile drive north on Brook Road.
With well-built homes, a friendly community and quick access to city amenities, Edgewood checks all the boxes.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
