Established in the 1970s and ‘80s with many trees
Richmond's Raintree suburb is a nature lover’s dream. When construction first began, developers left much of the surrounding forest intact, giving Raintree a woodsy, secluded atmosphere with homes on large lots. “It’s an established neighborhood with some unique houses,” says Jason Burke, who has been a Realtor since 2006 and is currently with Long & Foster Real Estate. “Most were built in the ‘70s and ‘80s.” With established walking trails ringing Raintree Lake and winding throughout the neighborhood, and Downtown Richmond about 15 miles away, Raintree offers an impressive blend of tranquility, community and convenience.
