Richmond's citywide median sold price ran about $384,000 as of August 2026. Harvest Green, the master planned community built around a working farm on the edge of town, carried a median closer to $610,000 in June, a substantial gap under the same city name.
That spread is not a data error, it reflects two genuinely different products. The historic core near downtown carries older housing stock at a lower median, while newer master planned sections command new construction pricing. A comp needs to come from the right side of that line.
Ask which part of Richmond a listing sits in, the historic downtown footprint or one of the newer developments on the edges, before comparing it to a citywide average that blends both.
Richmond is two different real estate markets wearing one city name, the historic downtown and the master planned edge. I ask which one a buyer actually wants before I pull a single comp, because a Harvest Green price and a historic core price are not the same conversation. And I always double check the school district against the assumption, because Harvest Green gets assumed into Lamar CISD constantly and it is Fort Bend ISD.

Richmond was founded in 1837 and became the seat of Fort Bend County the same year, making its historic downtown genuinely old by Houston metro standards. The 1908 Fort Bend County Courthouse, designed in the Texas Renaissance style with a copper domed rotunda, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and carries a Texas State Antiquities Landmark designation.
A 19th century former county jail from 1887 still stands downtown, now used by the Richmond Police Department. That kind of preserved civic architecture is not common in a metro where most suburbs are younger than 50 years.
Buying near that historic core means buying into a different character than a master planned edge community, older lot sizes, a walkable downtown, and none of the new construction amenity packages that Harvest Green offers instead.
Harvest Green is a 1,700 acre master planned community developed by Johnson Development, built around an on site working farm as its central amenity. A common assumption is that a far edge Richmond community zones to Lamar Consolidated ISD, and Harvest Green is a specific, checkable exception. It zones to Fort Bend ISD.
Fort Bend ISD is the same district serving much of Sugar Land and Missouri City, a real value comparison point for a buyer choosing between those cities and a Harvest Green address at a different price point.
Other parts of Richmond zone to Lamar Consolidated ISD instead. Never assume the district from a community's general location. Confirm zoning for the exact address directly with whichever district it turns out to be.
Lamar Consolidated ISD, based in nearby Rosenberg, enrolls about 46,786 students and carries a B rating, 88 out of 100, from the Texas Education Agency. The district is described as one of the fastest growing in the region, adding students and campuses at a pace that established suburbs like Sugar Land are not seeing anymore.
Fast growth cuts two ways for a buyer. It can mean new schools and updated facilities, but it can also mean shifting attendance boundaries as the district adds campuses to keep up with enrollment. A section zoned to a specific school today is not guaranteed to stay zoned there for the life of the mortgage.
Ask the district directly about any planned boundary changes for the specific attendance zone before treating a school assignment as permanent, especially in a section of Richmond served by a district still actively expanding.

Fort Bend ISD, not Lamar Consolidated ISD, which is a common assumption buyers get wrong for a far edge community. Fort Bend ISD also serves much of Sugar Land and Missouri City, a real comparison point on price.
Both Fort Bend ISD and Lamar Consolidated ISD, depending on the exact address. Confirm zoning directly with the district rather than assuming from a community name or general location.
