Searching For Homes In Richmond, VA
“My friend told me to look at the Midlothian (or Mechanicsville, or Short Pump….) area,” is a common refrain from a buyer. “Where is that?”The following pages offer a little more geographic guidance than the search pages organized purely by MLS Zone. We have created searches for ‘areas’ within the city. These areas can be truly areas (Short Pump) or neighborhood (Windsor Farms) or a combo of both (The Fan District.) As you read through the descriptions, you may recognize some names that will help guide your search.
