Neighborhood

Richmond’s historic Shockoe Slip neighborhood is a colorful and lively district overlooking the James River. Filled with brick buildings dating back well over a century, the vintage aesthetic is complemented by lush trees shading the sidewalks and specialty storefronts like Antique Boutique and Fountain Bookstore along Cary Street. Sockoe Slip has long been a major hub for business in Richmond (plus the Virginia State Capitol is only a block away), but the community lives by a “work hard, play hard” attitude, with dining, entertainment, and nightlife making it a great after-hours destination as well.

Catch a concert at Canal Club, enjoy a stellar meal at Bistro Babette or Citizen, hit the dancefloor at KAI, or just relax with a cold one at 7 Hills Brewing Company.
