Radford real estate runs the gamut between new construction and historical housing. For example, the West Radford Commercial Historic District features several Victorian buildings developed before 1890. Notable buildings include the Radford Trust Co. Building, distinguished by its gorgeous brownstone carvings, ornamental wrought iron, and Romanesque arched windows. Other buildings showcase preserve historical features, such as pressed-metal ceilings and cornices, ornamental glass and iron works, and unevenly spaced recessed entrances. Closer to the college, classic bungalows on tree-lined streets are nestled next to town homes and new construction. City Center, which includes the neighborhoods in and near downtown, offers homes that tend to be listed below the state average and feature modern amenities in historical and traditional frames.

Homes for sale in Radford are located in the college community and in rural areas surrounding the town. Residents can surround themselves with plentiful neighbors or serene landscapes.
