A lowkey Southside community
Six miles south of Richmond, Hickory Hill is a quiet residential area appreciated for affordability and laid-back living.

Complementing the relatively lower prices, Hickory Hill also sits just west of Hull Street Road, which takes drivers directly into the city. The neighborhood has a crime index score of 5, which nearly tracks the U.S. average score of 4, making it safer than other areas around the city. These facts all add to the appeal of the neighborhood, and families looking to live near Richmond but not quite in the city are noticing everything it has to offer.
The Hickory Hill neighborhood is located in the heart of the Richmond suburbs.

A fast-moving housing inventory
Hickory Hill holds a wide range of house styles and lot sizes. In the northern part of the neighborhood, Kinsley Avenue is lined with rows of vinyl Cape Cods with steeply pitched roofs, gable dormer windows and quaint front porches. In the southernmost part of the neighborhood, Norborne Road has mostly brick ranch-style homes on tidy lots shaded by mature trees. According to Issac Abdelmalak, a ten-year Richmond resident and Realtor at Virginia Capital Realty, lower price points coupled with low inventory have led to high demand. “If the house is ready to go and updated, there is high demand,” Abdelmalak says. “We recently had a contract within three days.” Up 21% from the previous year, the median home price is $230,000, but prices can range from $195,000 for a four-bedroom, brick Cape Cod to $258,000 for a three-bedroom ranch-style home with brick siding.
Hickory Hill homes also have brick facade features great for insulation in the winter months.
