With a population that has grown from a mere 5,000 to nearly 25,000 in just over 30 years, it is clear that Mechanicsville is quickly moving in an upward direction. Located in Hanover County, Mechanicsville is closely associated with several major battles that occurred during the Civil War. Today cemeteries, monuments and parks mark the rich history of this Virginia town.
The town has evolved substantially since its Civil War days. While the town still maintains a rural, small town ambiance, it also provides residents a variety of options for dining, shopping and entertainment. A major perk about Mechanicsville is that is only 6 miles from the central area of Richmond. This allows residents to enjoy the peaceful nature of their town, while offering the convenience of venturing to a larger city in just minutes.
There are many features about Mechanicsville that have resulted in its growing popularity among those looking to relocate or invest in real estate. With a mix of historic homes and properties built in the last ten years, the market is comprised of colonial style estates, contemporary custom homes, modern townhomes and traditional family-style dwellings. With the average home price at approximately $500,000, those purchasing property believe that the history of rising home prices in this region will surely continue.
