What home prices you can expect in Peter Paul
The median home sale price in Peter Paul is in the lower $200,000s, below Richmond’s overall median and that of the nearby neighborhoods of Fairmount, Woodville and Church Hill North. “The closer you are to Broad [Street] and all the numbered streets, the more expensive the homes,” says Dawn Roy, who’s sold homes in the area for 13 years and is a broker associate with Family Tree Realty Group. “On the other side of Nine Mile Road, now we’re getting into some areas that it may be more affordable.” Prices for a move-in-ready home usually range from the mid-$100,000s to the upper $300,000s, and you can sometimes find a deal on a fixer-upper.

A mix of rental homes, fixer-uppers and classic styles
Most homes here are bungalows, Cape Cods and ranch-style houses built in the 1940s, and you can also find some early 1900s two-story houses. These usually come with yards that are “large enough to give you a little bit of space,” says Bryan Turner, a Realtor with eXp Realty who’s sold homes in the area for around 40 years. “It wouldn't be real expensive to fence off, like if you had animals or kids.” Most homes have been renovated, but you can still find fixer-uppers if you’re willing to put in some elbow grease or are looking for an investment property. More than half of the area’s residents rent their homes.
