How much it costs to buy in Ginter Park
The median home sale price in Ginter Park is in the lower $500,000s, higher than Richmond’s overall median and in the nearby communities of Northern Barton Heights and Laburnum Park. Most homes cost between the upper $300,000s and the lower $800,000s, but those over 3,000 square feet can cost from the mid-$800,000s to $1.7 million. “It definitely depends on how updated the house is,” says eXp Realty Realtor Danae Dobler, who has been working with clients locally for around 10 years.
Early 20th-century architecture with historic details
Most homes were built between 1900 and 1930. “Even though the homes have, for the most part, all been updated, their original character, everything that makes them unique, is the same,” Dobler says. American Foursquares are the most common, and you can also find Cape Cods, Colonial Revivals and Craftsman bungalows. Many homes have driveways, and some have detached garages. Parking is available on most streets. “It’s so close to everything, and people like the lot sizes and the sizes of the houses,” says Joan Peaslee, who lives nearby and is a real estate agent with Shaheen, Ruth, Martin & Fonville Real Estate. There are also apartment complexes along Chamberlayne and Laburnum avenues.
