Randolph attracts a variety of people who like walkability
“There's a mixture of people who live in Randolph,” says Fernando Nero, a Richmond native and Realtor with 1st Class Real Estate RVA. “VCU students tend to stay after graduation and gravitate to the area. But it's also family-friendly because of the walkable areas with ice cream shops and restaurants. The neighborhood has a lot of amenities.” Even though the neighborhood is mostly residential, it’s close to parks and community spaces where neighbors gather at events like neighborhood association meetings and the Birdhouse Farmers Market at Petronius S. Jones Park. “It has more of a city vibe,” says Sonya Gierke, a Realtor with Remax Commonwealth who’s sold homes in the area since 2002. She says it's “that type of community where the neighbors are right out on the front porch talking to each other.”
