McGuire offers shady streets in Richmond's South Side.
McGuire offers proximity to jobs, shopping and transit
Living in the McGuire neighborhood puts you within walking distance of the Richmond Veterans Administration Medical Center, one of the biggest employers in Richmond ’s South Side. Formerly known as the Hunter Holmes McGuire Veterans Affairs Medical Center, the hospital anchors the neighborhood, attracting residents and renters who want to be close to jobs and health care. Home prices here are lower than in nearby neighborhoods, and easy access to Southside Plaza and public transit adds to the area’s convenience.
Bungalows and Cape Cods with roomy yards
Most homes in McGuire are Cape Cods, bungalows and ranch-style homes that were built in the 1940s and ‘50s. These usually have yards large enough for a driveway and several mature trees, so parts of the neighborhood feel shaded and suburban. “You can get a nice backyard and good square footage for a more affordable price than other parts of Richmond,” says Issac Abdelmalak, a Realtor at Virginia Capital Realty who’s sold homes in the area since 2013. Most residents here rent houses or units in low-rise complexes.
