Highland Park features historic architecture and local businesses
Highland Park is one of Richmond's first streetcar suburbs, with roots tracing back to the late 1880s. Century-old homes line the neighborhood's streets, and the Highland Park Plaza Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Beyond its architectural character, the neighborhood has a strong community focus, with several parks and recreation centers offering programming and outdoor space. Brookland Park Boulevard adds an active local business scene close to home, and Downtown Richmond is just 3 miles south. The median home price in the area falls below the Richmond median, with housing stock ranging from fully updated historic builds to fixer uppers with investment potential. The mix of historic charm and accessible green space gives the area a distinct identity within the city's Northside.

Early 1900s foursquares and colonials with period charm
The neighborhood features a mix of American Foursquares, craftsman-style bungalows, Colonial Revivals and Victorian rowhomes, most of which were built between 1900 and the 1930s. Many properties retain original hardwood floors, high ceilings and covered front porches. “This area has seen an influx of people coming in and restoring its early 1900s homes to their former glory, just in the past five years. It’s very up-and-coming,” says Real Broker LLC Realtor Kacie Jenkins, a Richmond native born in Northside. “They’re really maintaining the original character of the houses here, though.” Move-in-ready homes and fixer-upper opportunities exist side by side throughout the area. Fixer-uppers start in the low $100,000s, with price tags reaching the mid-$500,000s for fully restored historic builds with over 2,000 square feet. The neighborhood has a median of roughly $310,000, which is lower than the Richmond median of $390,000.
