Quaint homes line the streets of Fawnbrook.
A small residential pocket in southside Richmond
Well-built homes and convenience are staples of the friendly Fawnbrook neighborhood. About five miles south of the James River, Fawnbrook offers homebuyers a proximal location at a desirable price point. The simplicity of the neighborhood’s classic suburban streets and nearness to amenities are what draw buyers in. “Over here where your money goes a lot further, and you get a great neighborhood with great neighbors,” says Realtor Erin Melton of eXp Realty. Melton and her husband have sold homes in the Richmond area for nearly two decades. “Are your shopping centers as fancy as when you live in the West End or Midlothian? No. But if you’re willing to accept that, you can get a great house with great convenience.”
Colorful ranch homes are sprinkled throughout Fawnbrook.
Well-built homes from the 1990s
Fawnbrook houses were built almost entirely in the 1990s or within the first few years of the 21st century. Housing styles include contemporary colonials, split levels and ranch-style homes that often feature about 1,500 to 2,000 square feet. Most homes sit on level lots, mostly a quarter acre in size. A few residents, especially those on Geneva Drive, have lots close to a half-acre with heavily wooded backyards. Ranch styles and split levels with three bedrooms typically cost between $200,000 and $250,000, and colonials with four bedrooms cost between $250,000 and $350,000. “For this area, it is definitely the affordability and the convenience to the city that catch people’s eye,” Melton says. “People like the convenience of everything without paying the super-desirable-area prices.” About half of the community’s streets have sidewalks, but locals still enjoy strolls or bike rides where there are no sidewalks.
