Of Bellemeade's $79M in assessed-value growth since 2022, about 6% ($5M) is new construction: new buildings and major projects. The rest is the City reassessing existing property at higher values. How we tell construction from reassessment →

Typical home is the median change across the 1,074 homes assessed in both 2022 and 2026 — half rose by more, half by less. Growth rank places Bellemeade among the 133 Richmond neighborhoods with at least 50 such homes (1 = fastest growth).
