Homes For Sale on West Avenue
- Richmond's Fan District -
West Avenue, located in the Lower Fan between Park and Monument/W Franklin is a short 6 block stretch that is effectively a ‘neighborhood within a neighborhood’ in its relationship with the Fan.
West Avenue is known for being an incredibly tight knit and somewhat insular section of the Fan with its own neighborhood association to help it navigate its own unique challenges. Proximity to VCU and the student influence is an issue for many Lower Fan property owners. The residents of West have created a situation whereby the negative impact is largely non-existent and homes on West trade at a premium to much of the market.
West Avenue’s tight association manifests itself in being one of the most friendly and engaging neighborhoods in the Fan District. In the evenings, it common to see the street become a playground and the front porches become impromptu social gatherings reminiscent of yesteryear's urban living experience.
