North Richland Surprise–Don’t Judge by the Cover!

The heart of Richland was built and owned (furniture and all) by the federal government in the 1940’s.  Richland residents were primarily employed at the Hanford Site, working on the top-secret Manhattan Project during World War II.  Around 1957, the transition was made to privately-owned real estate.  The Hanford Site remained a central part of nuclear production & technology, and Richland continued to grow.  

1612 Birch - A home built in North Richland in 1962

  North Richland was built during the 1960’s and 70’s.  Today the area thrives because residents love the mature shade trees and established neighborhoods, as well as proximity to the Hanford Site, Kadlec Medical Center, schools, and recreation.  House values have remained high due to low supply and high demand, and many of the area’s houses have been beautifully remodeled inside, but retain their original exterior architecture.
