Raintree attracts families and nature lovers
In the Richmond suburb of Raintree, trees, trails and large lots on quiet cul-de-sacs make you feel like you’re in the forest, even though you’re only a short drive away from some of Henrico’s busiest shopping areas. You can find colonial-style homes and Shed-style townhouses in subdivisions that are all part of the Raintree HOA. Deep Run Park, the Raintree Swim and Racquet Club, and Miles E. Godwin High School make this neighborhood especially attractive to families. Broad Street businesses, the Short Pump Town Center shopping mall and Interstate 64 are also nearby.
An equal mix of townhouses and single-family homes
Raintree offers an even balance of Shed-style townhouses built in the 1980s and colonial-style homes built in the 1970s and ‘80s. “It’s an established neighborhood with some unique houses,” says Jason Burke, who has been a Realtor since 2006 and is currently with Real Broker. Homes here are typically surrounded by trees, and detached houses often come on lots that are a third of an acre, providing space for driveways and big backyards.
