Piney Knolls Homes for Sale

Piney Knolls in Richmond’s Southside is a quiet neighborhood with mid-century homes and tree-lined streets that feel set apart from the city’s busier commercial areas, while still being about 7 miles from Downtown Richmond. Houses are mainly Cape Cods and ranch-style homes built between the 1930s and 1960s, typically with three bedrooms and one to one-and-a-half baths. Many have been updated with refinished hardwood floors, newer kitchens and replaced roofs and windows. The housing market here is generally more affordable than in nearby Southside neighborhoods, and residents have a small cluster of local businesses along Broad Rock Boulevard. Dining options in and around Piney Knolls include Taqueria Omar for casual Mexican dishes, Cafe & Sabor Bakery & Restaurant for Colombian comfort food and desserts, and La Milpa, which combines a restaurant with a Latin American grocery. For everyday shopping, Southside Plaza with a Super Fresh grocery store is a short drive away, with Kroger and Food Lion also close. Families are served by Richmond Public Schools. Outdoor recreation and things to do nearby include Broad Rock Sports Complex with playgrounds, the James River Park System with over 20 miles of trails for hiking, trail running and mountain biking, and Ukrop Park with multiple soccer fields. The area is car-friendly, with Hull Street Road, Chippenham Parkway and GRTC bus routes along Broad Rock Boulevard and Hull Street providing access across Greater Richmond.
