Property & development
Home values
How the City has assessed property in Woodland Heights, 2022–2026.
Of Woodland Heights's $102M in assessed-value growth since 2022, about 8% ($8M) 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 856 homes assessed in both 2022 and 2026 — half rose by more, half by less. Growth rank places Woodland Heights among the 133 Richmond neighborhoods with at least 50 such homes (1 = fastest growth).
