Neighborhood

Manchester is an industrial neighborhood situated just south of Downtown Richmond. Manchester features a mix of historic and contemporary architectural styles, with countless apartments available for rent to suit any taste. With its northern border skirting the James River, Manchester affords residents easy access to the wide-ranging outdoor amenities of the James River Park System. With over 500 acres, the park supplies its visitors with activities such as climbing, fishing, and boating.

Among the many popular local gathering places is Legend Brewing, where neighbors enjoy cold drinks and spectacular riverfront views of downtown from the pub's outdoor deck. Residents savor the delectable soul food at Croaker's Spot Restaurant. Another local favorite, Camden's Dogtown Market, provides groceries as well as dine-in and takeout meals. Plant Zero, a performing and visual arts complex, serves as a cultural and entertainment anchor for the neighborhood.
