Walkable streets and a competative market
Washington Park is laid out in a grid street plan lined with paved sidewalks for leisurely neighborhood strolls. You’ll find ranch homes with brick or vinyl siding, rectangular with large front windows, dominating the area. You’ll also see bungalows with sloped roofs and deep, inviting porches, alongside a few Cape Cods with symmetrical facades and gabled dormers. Most of these homes sit on modest lots with shallow, tidy front lawns and simple landscaping. Home prices range from $110,000 to $250,000. According to Fields, inventory is low in this neighborhood and in the greater Richmond region. “The houses I’ve sold there left the market quickly,” Fields says.
