12 miles from Downtown Richmond
Sleepy Hollow, about 12 miles from Downtown Richmond, Virginia, offers suburban privacy a short drive from the city. No two homes look the same here, and mature trees drop leaves onto mowed green lawns. This is the kind of place where kids toss a ball around in the front yard, and families go on walks together after school. The neighborhood is great for those who want to be near the city’s attractions without sacrificing a desirable school district or lot size. “It’s centrally located,” says Brinkley Taliaferro, Realtor with Shaheen Ruth Martin & Fonville and Richmond native. “It’s not far from the city, restaurants and things to do, but it still has that suburban feel.”
Many homebuyers in Sleepy Hollow are attracted to the condos' spacious rooms.
Sleepy Hollow's wide and quiet streets are ideal for local walks.

Quiet homes near Richmond
Sleepy Hollow’s residential streets look like something from a movie – with Colonial Revival, split-level and ranch-style homes on neat lots. The grass is green here, and bushes and flower beds are well-maintained. Mature trees dot two-lane roads without sidewalks. There’s not much new construction – homes are older and updated with modern interiors. Homebuyers can find a ranch-style, Colonial Revival or split-level home in the $500,000 to $900,000 range, depending on the size, condition and age. In the low millions, potential buyers can expect sprawling five- or six-bedroom New Traditional or Colonial Revival properties that might back up to a small body of water. There are also condo options, and these units usually run around $300,000. “Homebuyers like that the neighborhood affords them privacy and space to spread out,” Taliaferro says.
Colonial Revival homes can be found throughout Sleepy Hollow.
Mid-century Split-Level homes are a popular option in Sleepy Hollow.

Surrounded by retail and dining options
