Home prices are lower than Richmond’s median

The median home sale price is in the upper $200,000s, lower than Richmond’s overall median and that of nearby neighborhoods like Rocketts Landing, Chimborazo and Church Hill. Smaller homes and those in need of updates can range from the mid-$100,000s to the mid-$300,000s, while new construction and recently remodeled homes range from the lower $300,000s to the lower $500,000s.

New construction, renovated older homes and fixer-uppers

Fulton has a mix of older homes and new construction. You can find:

  • Bungalows and American Foursquares built in the 1920s
  • Cape Cod, Minimal Traditional and ranch-style houses built from the 1940s to the '80s
  • New construction with New Traditional or American Foursquare-inspired architecture
It’s easy to find older homes that have been renovated or fixer-uppers waiting for your personal touch. Though there is a significant number of homeowners in the neighborhood, the majority of residents here rent homes or units in low- and mid-rise apartment complexes that are spread throughout the neighborhood.

Suburban vibes minutes from downtown

“Fulton is going to have more of a suburban feel to it,” says Leah Coleman, a real estate advisor at Icon Realty RVA with 16 years of experience. “You’ve commonly got quarter-acre lots.” The green space makes the area attractive to families, while the lower price point is another draw. “My partner and I lived in The Museum District for five years and we were ready for more space,” says longtime resident Melissa Ferrante. “At first, I was nervous about feeling suburban. But I love that I can sit in the privacy of my backyard without feeling isolated or remote and then walk to great restaurants and parks. Fulton is a very special space.”

Downtown neighborhoods are a short drive away

You can get to Downtown Richmond by taking Williamsburg Road and Main Street, a drive that takes less than 10 minutes. "One of the biggest benefits of living in Fulton is how close it is to different areas," Ferrante says. "If you drive five minutes in one direction, you find yourself at the river in Rocketts Landing or in downtown Shockoe Bottom, and five minutes in the other direction and you see beautiful corn fields and roadside fruit stands.” The Greater Richmond Transit Company bus stops throughout the neighborhood, and several roads are bike-friendly, though you’ll likely need a car to get around.

Walk to Triple Crossing and Blue Atlas

Fulton is also home to a popular brewery and restaurant that are within walking distance for many. “Triple Crossing brewpub is one of my favorites. I love to walk down Williamsburg Road and get a pizza and beer and watch the sunset from their patio,” Ferrante says. Blue Atlas is another local favorite. “They keep global dishes on rotation, and then it’s a wonderful sunset patio view that overlooks the city skyline,” Coleman says, adding that the restaurant serves coffee during the day and then transitions to cocktails and dinner in the evening. There are more restaurants nearby in Rocketts Landing. For groceries and shopping, you can head to the White Oak Village shopping center, a 10-minute drive away.
