ich in history and deep in charm, Richmond, Virginia is the epitome of a classic Southern city. One visit will not do it justice, as the Richmond area is a fantastic place to work, play and enjoy life.

Newcomers will revel in Richmond’s vibrant, diverse, and laid-back atmosphere.

Students, professionals, retirees, and families with children have made it their home. Many Richmonders live and work in the same areas, but commutes are easy from all sections of town. Residential living ranges from urban to suburban, often encompassing the surrounding counties of Henrico, Hanover, Goochland, Powhatan, and Chesterfield.

The Richmond metro area has been ranked as one of the nation’s “Best Places for Business and Careers” by Forbes magazine. Banking, healthcare, manufacturing, and technology industries dominate business in the area. Situated almost halfway between New York and Atlanta in the heart of the Mid-Atlantic, Richmond is in the perfect spot for both business and pleasure.

Richmond’s great location has solidified its place as a transportation hub. Richmond boasts an ever growing international airport, a shipping port, and the renovated Main Street Station and bus terminal. The Station is a short drive from Colonial Williamsburg, Washington, D.C., Virginia Beach, and the Blue Ridge Mountains. The GRTC Transit System also provides bus service around the Richmond area.

Not only has there been great revitalization in the area’s transportation system, but Richmond’s downtown revitalization is also in full swing with the 600,000-square foot convention center and the creation of housing and office space. As the capital

of Virginia, Richmond is the center of government for the Commonwealth and region, making the need for convenient office and housing space most important. Virginia’s legislators conduct their business from the Capitol building in downtown, while the Federal Reserve Bank for the fifth Federal Reserve District and the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the fourth district also operate in Richmond.

Culturally, the area enriches its residents with its own theater, symphony, ballet, opera, and over 20 museums. Local colleges and universities, including Virginia Commonwealth University, the University of Richmond, Randolph-Macon College, Virginia State University, and Virginia Union University, also pride themselves on the cultural programs they host.

Mother Nature smiles on the area and graces it with relatively mild winters and warm summers, which makes it a great spot for outdoor lovers. Richmond has a variety of gardens, golf courses, hiking, biking, walking and rafting opportunities, and much more. For the spectator set, NASCAR, minor league baseball, hockey and soccer, as well as arena football and arena cars are popular local attractions.

Richmond’s attractions, location, and history give the area personality, as inspiring monuments dot the cityscape, and paved roads meld into cobblestone streets.

However, the diversity of Richmond’s neighborhoods and the quality of life they offer is a surprise.

Each area of the city has its own distinct personality that springs from its location, history and scenery. Residents like to think of it as an area of neighborhoods.

The Neighborhoods Provided by the City of Richmond Office of Communications, Media Relations, and Marketing

Downtown

Richmond’s Downtown is unique compared to other areas of the city because of its intensive mix of retail, commercial, and residential development. When Richmonders refer to “downtown,” they generally mean the business or governmental center of the city. A steady influx of new residents, restaurants, and shops, however, is giving Downtown a neighborhood identity all its own.

Available living space has increased dramatically in recent years. Former industrial and office buildings with rich histories are being converted into apartments and condominiums, adding thousands of new residential units Downtown.

Revitalization and creative development are reinvigorating the architectural and cultural treasure that is Jackson Ward, arguably the most historically significant African-American neighborhood in the nation. Developers and entrepreneurs have also discovered Tobacco Row in Shockoe and are now turning the old cigarette plants and tobacco warehouses into condominiums, loft apartments, and shops.

Five-star hotels, restaurants serving an enormous variety of cuisine, premiere theatrical entertainment, and the hottest nightclubs in town are mere blocks from each other, and the streets between them serve as gateways to 250 years of history.

Richmond’s innovative Canal Walk connects the past and future of the city’s riverfront while bringing apartments, business, and shops to the banks of the James River.

With residential, entertainment, and business opportunities, Richmond’s Downtown has become a neighborhood where you can truly live, work, and play.

East End

Richmond’s East End is the city’s birthplace. It was among the hills overlooking the James River that William Byrd II, who owned the land, founded his new Landmarks of Greater Richmond

LO-RICH 2016-FINAL.indd 9

7/29/16 2:57 PM

L i f e s t y le

settlement, and named it after a city in England that had a similar view of the Thames River. The most recognized of these hills is Church Hill, named for its many churches, the most renowned of which is St. John’s Episcopal, site of Patrick Henry’s speech. The surrounding neighborhood, also known as Church Hill, is Richmond’s oldest, and its antebellum homes, gas lamps, brick sidewalks, and national historic status make it the city’s most famous.

Northside

However, there is more to the East End than the historic district. New developments north of Broad, such as Jefferson Mews and Charity Square, are adding to the diverse character of the area, and an ongoing revitalization process is bringing many older homes back to life. Libby Terrace offers spectacular views of the James River, Tobacco Row, and downtown.

This legacy can still be seen in neighborhoods such as Ginter Park, Sherwood Park, and Bellevue: spacious houses on large lots, streets lined with mature trees, and an established community infrastructure within minutes of downtown offices and cultural amenities. Other areas of Northside, such as Highland Park, are being brought back to their former glory through creative City programs such as Neighborhoods in Bloom.

The Fulton area, south of Church Hill against the county line, offers quiet streets, small frame and brick houses, and a close-knit community. A strong sense of family and local pride exists throughout the East End; neighbors look out for each other and many families have lived in the same house for generations.

For a great sample of what Richmond has to offer–history, beauty, family, and opportunity look no further than the East End. 10

Richmond’s Northside has offered city residents an ideal living environment since the turn of the last century when an innovative electric streetcar system first made it possible for people to live on the edges of the city while still working downtown. The first of these “streetcar suburbs” was developed in 1890, and by the 1920s Northside was one of Richmond’s most desirable areas in which to live.

The area also contains scenic Bryan Park with its breathtaking azaleas, as well as the Gothic campus of Union Theological Seminary and the home of the Richmond Flying Squirrels baseball team. Today, Northside offers the same qualities that made it desirable 100 years ago: suburban living, just outside the city.

West End

Richmond’s West End is the perfect combination of city and suburban living.

It offers river views, winding streets flanked by mature trees, stately brick homes, corner restaurants, urban parks, and boutique shopping. The cultural amenities of an urban center and the quiet of a tranquil riverside are both just a stone’s throw away. Though the area has some of Richmond’s most beautiful and historic homes, it also offers cozy brick bungalows and quaint cottages, each with their own individual character.

The extensive tree cover and multitude of gardens help preserve the tranquility of each property, but a short walk down any street will afford the opportunity to meet neighbors and friends out and about.

Neighborhoods such as Windsor Farms, Westhampton, and Sauer’s Gardens each offer their own particular charms and surprises, but their common thread is what makes the area so distinct and distinctly Richmond: living in the West End means experiencing the best of both worlds.

Central

Central Richmond is geographically and socially the heart of the city. The area includes Richmond’s best-known example of urban living, The Fan, as well as the architecturally diverse and culturally rich West of the Boulevard neighborhood

Landmarks of Greater Richmond

LO-RICH 2016-FINAL.indd 10

7/29/16 2:57 PM

and the quiet Byrd Park and Carillon neighborhoods along the river.

and some of the best examples of wooden row house construction in the city.

Corner bars, restaurants, and markets are interspersed with row houses featuring some of the best turn-of-the-century Victorian architecture left in the South, especially in the Fan. A dynamic mix of students, artists, professionals, and long-time residents give this area a particular flavor unmatched anywhere.

Those who live here are passionate about their neighborhoods and active community association’s help maintain the quality of life.

Southside

The area includes many of the city’s best-known attractions, including Monument Avenue, the only street in America designated as a National Historic Landmark, Hollywood Cemetery, Byrd Park, Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens and Maymont, Virginia Commonwealth University, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and the Carytown shopping district.

It also contains other well known areas, such as Oregon Hill neighborhood, originally home to many of the workers in the factories that used to line the banks of the James River below. It now features a fiercely independent blend of residents

Richmond’s Southside offers its residents a wealth of natural beauty, including river views, quiet streets, and many woods and creeks. Much of the area was originally forests and farmland, so the majority of its homes offer sizeable yards and plenty of shady trees.

From the converted warehouses and renovated storefronts of Old Manchester, to the sloping lots and gorgeous views of Riverside Drive, to the brand-new homes being built in Fawnbrook and Broad Rock, the range and diversity of Southside’s neighborhoods is remarkable.

The area features older neighborhoods such as Woodland Heights and Westover Hills, with winding streets, unique architecture, and an urban feel, as well as newer ones such as Broad Rock and Cherry Gardens, with quiet cul-de-sacs, affordable properties, and close proximity to schools and recreational activities.

The area contains the crown jewel of Richmond’s park system, the James River

Park, which stretches from the western city limits to Belle Isle, as well as more local treasures, such as Forest Hill Park and the secluded Falling Creek Reservoir.

Southwest

Richmond’s Southwest area has a dual personality. It offers elements of country living such as wildflower-filled meadows and secluded riverfront properties. It also contains the city’s newest office, retail, and residential development, Stony Point, and a fast-growing retail area at Forest Hill and Chippenham Parkway.

The Southwest area runs along the south bank of the James River from the Powhite Parkway west to Old Gun Road at the city limits. It contains several different subdivisions and neighborhoods, from Stratford Hills and Oxford closer to the city center to Hobby Hill and Huguenot Farms bordering the city limits.

The secret is out: Richmond offers the amenities of a big city and the feel of a friendly town. While you are in the area, you will discover what Richmonders have always known: living in the heart of it all is the only choice in town.

UTHENTICITY Starts Here.

DIVERSITY Starts Here.

ENERGY Starts Here.

HISTORY Starts Here.

Downtown Richmond is the starting point for a wide variety of activities and events that are uniquely “Richmond.” As the creative center for the Region, Downtown is bustling with energy and activity in one of its many eclectic neighborhoods. Downtown encompasses neighborhoods featuring their own, specific personalities, like the Broad Street Arts District, Monroe Ward, Jackson Ward, Court End, City Center, Capitol Square, the Financial District, Shockoe Slip, Shockoe Bottom, The Canal Walk, the Riverfront, Tobacco Row, and the Manchester Arts District on the South side of the James River. Each neighborhood has its own vibe with iconic restaurants, shops, arts and culture that represent Richmond in a way that simply cannot be experienced elsewhere.

Downtown is also home to some of the most creative, dynamic businesses in the region.

Working here means having your finger on the pulse of city business, coming face to face with the decision-makers every day. Living here means being within walking distance of great restaurants, unique shops, historical attractions and fun outdoor events and festivals all year long. Events like Friday Cheers, Fridays at Sunset, Dominion Riverrock, RVA Fireworks on the James, the Richmond Folk Festival and many more public events invite you to share the energy and authenticity that is Downtown Richmond.

The Riverfront extends along the picturesque James River for approximately thirty blocks in downtown Richmond and incorporates unique sections that give the area character and variety.

The Riverfront and the adjacent James River Park and trail system offer stunning locations to walk, run, bike, kayak, raft, swim, fish or to simply enjoy the beauty. Here you can experience the only Class IV urban whitewater in the country. So while you are in Downtown, don’t miss the natural beauty along the shores of the James.

Within walking distance of the Riverfront and Canal Walk, there are myriad historic sites, including Main Street Station, the 17th Street Farmers’ Market, the American Civil War Center at Historic Tredegar, the Richmond National Battlefield Park Civil War Visitors Center, the Edgar Allen Poe Museum, the Virginia Holocaust Museum, Virginia War Memorial and the Riverfront Historic Canal Cruises.

Historic Richmond Region Easy to Love Provided by the Richmond Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau

esidents and visitors to the Historic Richmond Region continue to call it easy to love. Home to museums, breathtaking architecture, and a vibrant arts community, the Region entertains and enlightens.

Historic buildings and world-class museums nestle next to new structures designed to harmonize with the past even as they define the future. Richmond—fun, affordable and accessible—offers the benefits of a big city and the warmth of a small town. There are trendy areas and endless pockets of discovery—all in an historic setting that reminds us of who we are as Americans.

The State Capitol was designed by Thomas Jefferson and is one of the most visited sites in the city.

Located on the James River fall line, Richmond was founded in 1607 by Captains Christopher Newport and John Smith of Jamestown fame. Patrick Henry lit the fires of revolution when he delivered his “…give me liberty or give me death…” speech at St. John’s Church in 1775. You can still visit St. John’s, and during the summer enjoy the reenactments of Henry’s famous speech.

Richmond replaced Williamsburg as capital of the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1780.

The Richmond Region is rich in historic homes and famous folk. Henricus Historical Park recreates the New World’s second successful English settlement, the 1611 Citie of Henricus. The John Marshall House, Edgar Allan Poe Museum, Maggie Walker National Historic Site, Meadow Farm, and Scotchtown all interpret the lives of distinguished people.

Visitors to the Richmond Region find the traditions of history and culture alive today.

Historic homes and neighborhoods, Civil War and Revolutionary War sites and museums, gardens and nature centers, science & art museums, sports teams and the James River offer a myriad of activities throughout the Region. Combined with excellent shopping and excellent dining, these attractions are enough to create several fun-filled weekends.

The Valentine Richmond History Center presents “the story of Richmond,” as well

Dining in Richmond

Offers a Wide Variety to Satisfy Every Taste!

R

ichmond is a city with a multitude of dining choices. Many restaurants serve fresh from farm to table and delicious food from local farmers in the region is abundant. In fact, there is worldwide demand for Hanover tomatoes grown less than 20 miles from the city. Virginia wines grown in nearby Blue Ridge Mountain wineries find their way to the best tables in town.

When you’re in the mood for good times and great cuisine, dining in Richmond is where it’s at!

Carytown is one of the best-known locations in Richmond with an eclectic collection of intimate restaurants. You will find delectable pastries, desserts, and restaurants with classic style, deep menus, and prices that won’t break your bank. You will find cozy coffee shops dotting the street – drop in and sip a cup while you people watch.

East toward the city proper, you will find yourself in Shockoe Bottom. This trendy area has many renovated stores and warehouses transformed into happening clubs and fine restaurants.

Shockoe Bottom is a fantastic place to meet young movers and shakers dancing to the sounds of live music into the wee hours. The Shockoe Bottom Farmers’ Market is a favorite for early birds looking to find the finest locally grown vegetables during the growing season.

Riverfront is rapidly emerging as a favorite destination located between Carytown and Shockoe Bottom. There are upscale shops, cobblestone streets, old brick and iron renovated buildings with old-world charm and, of course, fabulous restaurants and bistros. Riverfront has been featured in several movies as a “stand in” for Civil War and Antebellum era buildings. Dine at any number of classic restaurants and take a walk along the gorgeous James River.

Hopewell

As home to General Ulysses S Grant’s Union Headquarters during the Civil War for 10 months, a Revolutionary War skirmish, and numerous Indian attacks, Hopewell is full of history waiting to be discovered!

Not only are there activities for history buffs, but Hopewell also offers a variety of other attractions. You can get away from the hustle and bustle of the city as you walk scenic trails, get your feet wet on the James and Appomattox Rivers, find that something special as you browse through the shops on East Broadway, relax over a delicious meal made from only the freshest ingredients, and much more.

Petersburg

For the historians in the family, Petersburg is an ideal destination. The city was key during the closing months of the Civil War as Petersburg was seized shortly before Richmond. Blandford Church, just one of the many Civil War sites to visit, features six magnificent Tiffany windows commemorating the 30,000 Confederate troops buried at the site. At the Siege Museum, you can view how life changed for Petersburg residents before and after the Civil War. Not only is Petersburg historical, the town is also a great place to shop and dine.

You can browse through Old Towne, a quaint district full of boutiques, craft shops, and antique stores. After the day of shopping, stop the sidewalk cafés and unique restaurants that add to the old-fashioned feel of the area.

Williamsburg

Take a trip back in time at Colonial Williamsburg, a delightful 173-acre town that once housed the capital of England’s largest, oldest, and most populous colony. Residents dress, work, and live as the original residents lived in the 18th century.

Just a short drive away sits Carter’s Cove, a nearly 400-year-old James River Plantation, which offers a unique view into the lives of 18th-Century rural slaves and middle-class white Virginians. You will love Water Country USA and Busch Gardens Williamsburg, voted America’s “Most Beautiful Theme Park” for nine consecutive years by the National Amusement Park Historical Association.

Rich in history, the area surrounding Richmond is truly worth a look. No matter what age you are, these great places are sure to have what you are looking for. Whether you are looking for a day of shopping or a peek into Virginia’s exciting past, Richmond and the surrounding area have it all.
