Monument Square

Community Description Monument Square is a master-planned, amenity-rich condo and townhouse community offering maintenance‑free living in an architecturally curated setting. Designed to invoke Richmond’s historic elegance, it blends traditional exterior charm with contemporary interiors—granite, hardwood, vaulted ceilings, and stainless appliances. The site features both condo buildings and adjacent townhomes, offering social and private living options. Residents enjoy a robust amenity suite: pool, fitness center, game room, clubhouse events, outdoor grilling, and communal gathering spots like Courtyard and fire‑pit areas. Garaged parking, elevator access, and controlled building security provide convenience and peace of mind. Nestled in Henrico’s desirable West End, it's close to schools, shopping hubs (Willow Lawn), and cultural corridors. This neighborhood appeals to those seeking larger units (1,100–3,000 sq ft) with upscale finishes and a quieter alternative to The Fan District, yet still within easy reach of Carytown, downtown Richmond, and local green spaces.

🏡 Monument Square Condominiums & Townhomes – Overview & History

Monument Square is a premier condominium and townhouse community located at the intersection of Monument Avenue and Willow Lawn Drive in Henrico County, just minutes from downtown Richmond. Developed by Gumenick Properties in the late 2000s, the community was built on the site of a former 1940s-era apartment complex, thoughtfully reimagined to reflect Richmond’s classic architectural charm while offering modern, maintenance-free living.

Construction began in the late 2000s, with final buildings completed around 2012. The neighborhood includes both mansion-style condominium buildings—four stories high with approximately twelve units per building—and stately townhomes inspired by the historic Fan District. These homes showcase traditional Richmond design elements such as brick exteriors, standing seam metal roofs, ornamental ironwork, decorative moldings, and richly detailed trim work.

Home sizes in Monument Square range from approximately 1,100 to over 3,000 square feet, with floor plans offering one, two, and three-bedroom layouts. Each residence is designed with high-end finishes, including granite countertops, hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, crown molding, vaulted ceilings, fireplaces, and private balconies or sunrooms. Many homes also include attached interior garages for one or two vehicles, along with additional surface parking.

This upscale West End community offers residents a full suite of resort-style amenities. These include a beautifully landscaped outdoor pool, a fully equipped fitness center, an elegant clubhouse (Shaffer Hall) with indoor lounge space, a game room, and outdoor features such as a courtyard, fire pit, kitchen, grilling stations, and open lawn space. Safety and convenience are top priorities, with elevators, controlled-access buildings, fire sprinkler systems, and some wheelchair-accessible units. Monthly HOA fees range from approximately $474 to $772, covering exterior maintenance, amenity access, and common area upkeep.

Zoned for Crestview Elementary, Tuckahoe Middle, and Douglas Freeman High School, Monument Square is ideally positioned near Willow Lawn shopping center, Libbie Grove, Carytown, and the cultural corridors of Monument Avenue and downtown Richmond. With its blend of luxury, location, and lifestyle, Monument Square appeals to buyers seeking spacious, lock-and-leave living in Richmond’s desirable West End.
