Reply to comment by Kindly_Boysenberry_7 in RVA Real Estate AMA - "What The H*ll Is Happening?" Edition by Kindly_Boysenberry_7

Adjacent to Blackwell is Oak Grove and I've been seeing more houses being built on empty lots, or old houses being torn down to rebuild on the land around here. Just within a 2 block radius of me there are 6 houses I can think of off the top of my head that are either new builds or remodels with another one under contract.

And of course, I must add, still no grocery store.

Yes, TONS going on in Oak Grove too. On the grocery store thing, another real estate saying, albeit from the commercial world, is "retail follows roof tops." I have to think with all the new apartment units going in, as well as the single family houses being rehabbed or built, there will be a grocery store in Manchester soon. I mean, how many units have come on line since 2020, and how many more are in the planning and development stage?
