April 29, 2025

At Main Street Homes, we understand that finding the perfect home is about more than square footage or the number of bedrooms—it’s about how your space supports your lifestyle, both now and in the years to come. As we move further into the year, homebuyers are placing greater emphasis on flexibility, functionality and comfort. That’s why we offer a wide variety of expertly designed floor plans for our new homes in Richmond, VA—ranging from spacious single-family homes to low-maintenance townhomes—so you can confidently choose a home that fits your lifestyle perfectly.

Decide what kind of maintenance and lifestyle you want

Some of our homeowners prefer low-maintenance living with high style—and that’s where our townhome and villa plans shine. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a busy professional or simply looking to simplify, our townhomes in Oasis and Shire Walk offer the perfect blend of luxury, efficiency and location.

For example, the Oasis Richmond 2244 and Shire Walk Richmond 2242 offer three stories of spacious living with optional terraces and flex spaces that adapt to your needs. Or, if you’re seeking main-level living in a townhome layout, the First Floor Primary - Maple and Rosewood plans in our villa collection might be just right for you.

At Reserve at Oasis, our 55+ active adult community in Chesterfield, townhome living means less exterior upkeep—and more time to focus on what you love. Designed with low-maintenance lifestyles in mind, this vibrant neighborhood offers beautiful villa-style homes with first-floor living and modern amenities perfect for active adults. Plus, with a prime location near shopping, dining, healthcare and outdoor recreation, Reserve at Oasis combines comfort, convenience and connection in one exceptional community.

Consider your household’s needs today—and tomorrow

Think about how many people will be living in your home, how often you host guests, and whether you need flex space for remote work, hobbies or multi-generational living. If you’re planning to expand your family or transition into retirement, a floor plan with adaptable spaces—like our Treyburn III or Jefferson—offers the flexibility you need for life’s changes.

If one-level living is at the top of your list, you’ll love options like the Amelia and Treyburn II, which deliver both convenience and style without compromising on space. Many of our floor plans also feature first-floor primary suites, such as the Ashley I, Monterey or Augusta II, giving you privacy and ease of access, especially if you're planning for long-term comfort.

Prioritize functionality and flow

Functionality is one of the biggest factors in choosing the right floor plan. Think about how you move through your home daily. Do you value open-concept living? Are you looking for oversized closets or dedicated mudrooms? The Berkeley and Waverly II are just a couple of our designs that combine generous gathering spaces with practical storage and thoughtfully placed bedrooms.

If you’re all about entertaining, our Bellevue and Lancaster floor plans provide expansive kitchens, welcoming living areas and optional outdoor living spaces—perfect for hosting gatherings big or small.

Let your lifestyle lead the way

Ultimately, the best floor plan is the one that feels like home from the moment you walk in. Are you a chef at heart? A growing family? An empty-nester ready to downsize? Our extensive portfolio of over 20 townhome and 20+ single-family home plans ensures that no matter your lifestyle or life stage, there’s a Main Street Homes design that fits you just right.

We invite you to explore our interactive floor plans, take virtual tours or visit one of our decorated model homes to get a feel for the quality craftsmanship and intentional design we put into every home. At Main Street Homes, we’ve spent decades helping families throughout the Richmond area find their perfect home. We’re proud to offer trusted expertise, personalized service and gorgeous new construction homes in Richmond, VA that make everyday living feel extraordinary.
