Richmond is the historic Fort Bend County seat on the Brazos River, southwest of Houston. Alongside its 1800s-era downtown, the greater Richmond area now includes some of the region's biggest master-planned communities stretching toward Sugar Land and Fulshear.
Richmond sits on Brazos River floodplain soils β deep, highly expansive vertisol clays that rank among the most active in the Houston region. Homes in newer communities built on engineered pads (Aliana, Harvest Green, Veranda) see fill consolidation, while properties closer to the river experience strong seasonal shrink-swell cycles that work piers and slabs hard.
