Living in Richmond

Richmond is the seat of Fort Bend County, set on the Brazos River. It was incorporated in 1837 as one of the first cities of the Republic of Texas, and its historic downtown is still the heart of the town. Around that core, master-planned communities have brought modern homes, parks, and amenities such as the working community farm at Harvest Green. Buyers often find more house for their budget here than in neighboring Sugar Land.

Best forBuyers who want value, newer communities, and a touch of small-town character.
