Home styles range from 1950s Cape Cods to 2020s townhouses
Many homes in Willow Lawn are Cape Cod and ranch-style houses built in the 1950s. “You’ll see under 1,000 square foot homes on a very regular basis,” says Alyssa Devereaux, a team lead at Compass with seven years of experience. “I think that’s what lends to the pricing being a bit more fair for a couple, and the size being more fair for a couple.” You can find some larger Colonial Revival homes near Staples Mill Road and spacious townhouses built in the 2010s and 2020s. Most residents own their homes, but you can also find houses and apartments for rent throughout the neighborhood.
Homes like this Colonial Revival often have brick exteriors.

A blend of suburban and retail that’s popular with younger folks
Willow Lawn offers pockets of suburban calm and areas with a busier feel. “Willow Lawn is typically where you’ll see a younger couple,” Devereaux says. “I often find these are people who want to be closer to go and grab a drink, go over to the art museum, go over to Scott’s Addition. You’re a bit closer to those areas that tend to have a younger demographic.” She adds that proximity to Bon Secours St. Mary’s Hospital makes the neighborhood especially attractive to young medical professionals.
