Virginia Real Estate
Real estate in Virginia reflects its storied past. Buildings in the Georgian or Federalist traditions still line many of the cobbled streets and tree-lined boulevards. These homes display a stately elegance in symmetrical, red brick facades, with prominent classical elements.
More recently, townhomes and row houses, and minimal traditional or Cape Cod homes have populated the real estate market. Adorned with quaint exterior shutters, clapboard, and dormer windows, these properties are top-of-the-list for cozy, old-world charm.
Middle-to-late 20th-century homes in Virginia are common throughout the well-established suburbs. Expect to find a number of garrison-houses, with split-level siding, and large yards built for growing families.
At the upper-end of Virginia's housing market, potential buyers can find a selection of American-Shingle, Colonial new-traditional, and contemporary modern homes. These units display the best in modern fittings and fixtures, with a careful eye for design and elegance as well.
Given the sheer variety of Virginian properties on offer, including detached, single-family homes, condominiums, and townhomes, you're sure to find a home that suits both your needs, and your tastes.
