Revitalization in the southside community of Oak Grove
Situated 2 miles south of the James River in Richmond’s Southside is the peaceful neighborhood of Oak Grove. This convenient, walkable area is currently experiencing major revitalization, with many homes being renovated and restored, and new restaurants and businesses setting up shop. “The energy and revitalization of this area is very appealing,” says Jennifer Gurley, Realtor with Shaheen Ruth Martin & Fonville. “It’s such a cute area, and there are tons of nice cottages and bungalows. It’s a 10-minute commute to downtown and the VCU hospital, and it has a friendly neighborhood vibe.”

Tree-lined streets and century-old architecture
Stroll along the sidewalks of Oak Grove’s grid-style streets, lined with mature oaks and maples, and you’ll see an array of architectural styles, including American Foursquares, bungalows and cottages. These houses are perched neatly next to each other on level lots with shallow setbacks and simple landscaping. Many of the homes in this area were initially built in the 1920s and ‘30s and are now receiving modern updates and renovations. In Oak Grove, you can get a three-bedroom, one-bathroom ranch home in original condition for around $100,000, an updated two-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow for around $250,000 or a four-bedroom, three-bathroom new construction with all the bells and whistles for around $375,000. Oak Grove’s current market reflects its state of revitalization, with average costs comparably lower than many surrounding areas and an even mix of non-renovated and renovated homes up for sale. “The last house I sold here sold quickly,” Gurley says. “We got multiple offers, and it sold before the end of the weekend. There are definitely a lot of buyers who want to be in Oak Grove.”
