Looking at Zillow, they are about 800k for 3,000 square feet at far west end (green gate) while there are new townhomes being built on East Main near triple crossing 840k for 2,300 square feet. So you get to live downtown with bad public schools vs suburb hell with better public schools.

What's special about any of them? Supply and demand. These aren't being bought by college grads or working class people from house poor areas. These are being bought by people from other places that sold their shitty townhouse/house for a million and get to buy a brand new place for less.

Off the top of my head that I can remember, there's a few members of the family that used to own Eagle, a Federal judge, some VP for Six Flags, and one of the Silva guys from UFC have homes there, want to say it's Joe Silva but I can't remember.

Vast majority of customers I dealt with that lived there were 50+. That neighborhood was also by far the biggest of the asshole homeowners of Eagle's neighborhoods.

A VP for Six Flags in Richmond?

Yeah, guy was head of global development or something along those lines. Didn't matter where he lived.

A lot of those aren't people's primary residence either. Like the Silva guy I know didn't live there full time. He was only here a few times a year because he owned a restaurant here.
