Founded in the late 1870s by a group of Civil War veterans, Bon Air was upper-class Richmond's summer hideaway. Year-round residents built ornate Victorian cottages with floor-to-ceiling windows and sprawling porches. These houses still stand along the main roads in the historic district and bear the names of their original owners. Bon Air is a tight-knit community that's deeply invested in preserving its history. The Bon Air Historical Society holds an annual Victorian Day Festival and Parade each May. Curator: Shannon Harton

Brick homes, boutique shopping, and local favorites nestled together just outside the bustle of Richmond's city center. The Libbie-Grove area is home to sought after public and private elementary and high schools, The University of Richmond, Virginia Country Club, and local dining and shopping experiences that are hard to match. The homes in this area range from sweet bungalows to modern stunners ready to welcome you and fold you in to the walkable lifestyle you've been looking for. Curator: Jess Deleo
