Shockoe Valley’s location a big draw
At first glance, Shockoe Valley may look like a tangle of overpasses, lofts and industrial buildings sandwiched between Richmond’s downtown and its East End neighborhoods. While many of its residences are rented-out apartments, on the border of Union Hill is a pocket of colorful streets. The area is also deeply rooted in Richmond’s history and continues to embody the diversity the city is known for. “It really has the same draw as the Museum District, the Fan or any place in the greater Church Hill area," says Realtor Ernie Chamberlain. "It’s about the location."

Older homes with updated interiors
“Part of the appeal is that these houses are older and unique looking, but inside have hard pine floors and remodeled kitchens,” Chamberlain says. Home prices range from $227,000 to $700,000 and up. Some rows of townhouses have tall windows and second-story balconies reminiscent of the Italianate style. Others are the pinnacle of Tudor Revival with their turrets, brickwork and asymmetrical design. Regardless, nearly every home includes a front porch, and there is ample on-street parking.
