Manchester Houses for Sale

Manchester, one of Richmond’s fastest-growing neighborhoods, has transformed from a former industrial area into a trendy locale. The neighborhood features sleek neo-industrial buildings housing restaurants and midrise condos, with rowhomes near the James River. While residents have long requested a major grocery store, the area’s downtown skyline views and access to nature continue to attract homebuyers. Hull Street, leading into the Mayo Bridge, offers a mix of old and new dining options, including Croaker’s Spot for soul food and Pig and Brew for southern barbecue. Café Zata and Legend Brewing provide additional dining experiences. Home styles in Manchester vary from single-owner homes and modern colonial houses to American Foursquare homes, with bold brick and metal facades closer to the riverfront. Alice Fitz Playground offers a community garden, play area, and basketball court, while the Buttermilk Trail provides a 4.5-mile path for hiking and biking along the river. Residents can easily access Brown’s Island via the Potterfield Bridge for events like Friday Cheers and the Richmond Folk Festival. Manchester’s grid layout, wide sidewalks, and pedestrian-friendly bridges make it ideal for walking, with public transportation and an on-ramp to Interstate 95 enhancing its commuter appeal.
