A captivating village neighborhood of quiet, tree-lined
streets and English-inspired brick and slate residences. Glenburnie
was constructed primarily in the 1930s-1950s. Its brick
and slate architecture is solid and enduring, and its quiet tree-lined
streets invite evening strolls and spontaneous neighborly roadside
visits. Several areas were set aside by original developers as parks
for residents and remain popular spots for children and dogs alike.
Residents of Glenburnie tend to range from older people who have
lived in the neighborhood for many years and value its peace and
convenience to younger singles and families who find its location
in the Near West End close not only to shopping, dining, entertainment
and jobs but as well to a variety of excellent educational options,
both public and private, for their children.
Glenburnies location makes it particularly desirable to urban
professionals: it is within minutes of the interstate and parkway
system, and Downtown Richmond is fewer than ten minutes away via
the Downtown Expressway. Boutique shopping in Carytown, the Fan
and Museum Districts, and the Shops at Libbie and Grove are within
minutes, and museums and educational facilities, including the Virginia
Museum of Fine Art, the University of Richmond, and Virginia Commonwealth
University are readily accessible.
Properties in Glenburnie typically range from a low in the mid-$300,000’s to upwards of $500,000. Demand for these properties has been particularly high in recent years and supplies low, and multiple offers on newly-listed properties are not uncommon.
