Elkhardt. On Richmond’s Southside, Elkhardt offers quiet, walkable blocks of mid‑century brick ranches and cottages, many with deep yards and mature shade trees. Everyday errands are simple along Hull Street Road, and Chippenham Parkway puts downtown Richmond within an easy drive while opening quick connections to the region. Weekends can swing from a soccer game at the Southside Community Center to storytime at the Hull Street Branch Library, with Forest Hill Park and the James River Park trails just a short hop away for bigger adventures.
Families appreciate the neighborhood’s public school options through Richmond Public Schools, including J.L. Francis Elementary, Miles Jones Elementary, and the modern River City Middle School, known for expansive arts, STEM, and athletics programming. Community roots run deep here—block‑by‑block pride shows up in tidy lawns, friendly porches, and neighbors who look out for one another. Housing remains comparatively attainable, and ongoing investment along the Hull Street corridor continues to add shopping, services, and eateries, while employment centers in nearby Chesterfield County broaden career options.
Whether you’re upsizing to a larger yard or right‑sizing to a low‑maintenance home, Elkhardt balances value with access, offering a calm address that still keeps you connected to the city’s best. If you’re buying or selling, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a top local real estate agent who knows Elkhardt inside and out.
