Virginia Union houses the historic campus of Virginia Union University, dividing its remaining space between houses and apartments in the north and Chamberlayne Industrial Center in the south. Wedged between two highways, this urban neighborhood caters to locals traveling to college and work with easy transit to and from downtown Richmond, located four miles away.
A handful of eateries serves the area's on-the-go population. Lunch breaks inevitably send you to Sugar's Crab Shack for soul-soothing seafood, while the Black Sheep attracts locals who love hip tunes, diverse American cuisine, and oversized novelty dishes.
You'll find sports and cultural entertainment in every direction, whether you want to score a front-row seat at the Washington Redskins training camp, ignite learning at the Science Museum of Virginia, or explore the past at the Black History Museum. Join in the local tradition of cheering on the Flying Squirrels at the Diamond baseball stadium.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
