Highland Grove
An affordable home ownership community to complement the larger Northside mixed-income neighborhoods
Highland Grove is the redevelopment of Dove Court, a former public housing project. The Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA) developed 128 rental units through HOPE VI funding in 2013 and planned for future homeownership on the site of the old Virginia National Guard Armory. In 2019, a plan for 117 homeownership single-family, duplexes, and triplexes was approved by Richmond City Council. The homes will be affordable by design and subsidy, with sales prices from $185,000 to $250,000. The new community connects to regional trails and partners with the public elementary school to improve amenities for the students, residents, and the broader neighborhood.
