Richmond may be steeped in history – after all, it’s one of the oldest towns in Texas – but it’s cuisine, culture and community life are geared for today’s family. The historic downtown is quaint. And charmingly rustic. Barbecue is still slow-smoked. And local hot spots and seasonal events are fresh, multicultural and continuously evolving.
An exciting fusion of old and new, local and global, casual and elevated, Richmond is an undeniable cultural crossroads. You’ll find a good ol’ Texas welcome. And everything your family needs to grow and thrive. Plus, Richmond’s newest planned community adds forward-design to the mix.
Southern Eats & Global Bites
Down-home Texas barbecue – from brisket to ribs – is always on the menu. But that’s only the start of Richmond’s foodie culture. Locally owned restaurants reflect the town’s multicultural influences with flavors from around the world.
Try Jamaican jerk chicken. Mediterranean kabobs. Goat curry and garlic naan. Pho. Savory Nigerian stews and fried plantains. Or dig into seafood and sides cooked Southern style. Richmond restaurants keep your plate full. And mouthwatering good.
Top Spots for Everyday Joy
Richmond is the ideal background for the rhythms and routines that comprise everyday life. Get cozy at your favorite café. Plan a playdate at Richmond City Park. Stock up on artisan goods and local produce at the monthly farmers market. Or watch a movie under the stars at Wessendorf Park. Popcorn included!
Love the great outdoors? Brazos Bend State Park is close by with four lakes and roughly 4,900 acres to explore. Drop a fishing line. Pitch a tent. Go for a hike. And be on the lookout for wildlife and over 300 species of birds.
Everything else you need is right here, too. Upscale shopping, golf courses and conveniences make Richmond a smart, vibrant place to live. Fully equipped sports facilities and the highly regarded Lamar CISD schools are value adds for growing families. And seasonal events, like the annual Pecan Harvest Festival and Tree Lighting Ceremony, bring neighbors together.
Location’s Big Advantage
Thirty miles is not that far. But it feels like another world. That’s the advantage of Richmond’s location just outside of Houston. Major employers, professional sports arenas, museums, airports and the city’s finest amenities are easily accessible. For breathing room, head southwest. A stand of pecan trees marks the spot.
That’s how you’ll know you’ve reached Richmond’s newest planned community, Evergrove. Mature trees mark the entrance. A naturally flowing creek meanders through the center. And preserved green space, urban-inspired new homes and thoughtfully curated amenities set the pace for modern life.
