Richmond's compact size — just over 4 square miles — creates an atmosphere where boutique apartment communities and townhomes sit alongside historic buildings repurposed as shops and offices. The Hillcrest neighborhood features tree-lined streets and established homes, while Winston Terrace offers mid-century homes with sweeping oak trees. Newer master-planned communities in unincorporated areas with Richmond addresses provide additional rental options, including small apartment buildings and single-family homes.

The historic downtown district features local shops in preserved buildings, while additional shopping and dining options can be found in neighboring Rosenberg. With a population of approximately 11,600 residents and a median age of 39, Richmond maintains its small-town character while benefiting from the growth and development of the greater Houston metropolitan area.
