Harper on Museum District

The Museum District runs west of the Boulevard, next to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. The houses are a little larger and the streets a little quieter than in the Fan.

Many homes were built between 1910 and 1930, with deep porches and third-floor rooms. Carytown is a short walk south.

Inventory is thin and good houses go quickly. If you love this area, I suggest getting your financing ready before you start touring.

Walkable to Carytown and the VMFA. Zoned for Richmond Public Schools; check the current map for each address.

Columned porches on a Museum District block in October.

Notes on Museum District

  1. The first real price cuts on the Boulevard.

    Three Museum District listings dropped their asking price by 3 to 5 percent this month. None had sat longer than five weeks. Sellers who priced for last spring are adjusting quickly, which is good news for patient buyers.
