Neighborhood

Everything you love about Richmond exists tenfold in Downtown: the history, the natural beauty, and variety of things to do. From its historical monuments and museums to its outdoor parks, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Stroll through picturesque Capitol Square, visit the Virginia State Capitol to learn about the state’s history, or explore the city’s art galleries and theaters.

The James River flows through the center of Downtown, and residents can enjoy outdoor activities like kayaking, fishing, and hiking. The 3.5-mile Canal Walk along the river is ideal for bicycling and walking, and Byrd Park provides ample green space to relax and enjoy the city views. Explore Brown’s Island, host to a variety of concerts like the Richmond Folk Festival or spend the evening enjoying entertainment at venues like the National Theater or Dominion Energy Center.
