Situated just west of Downtown Richmond, the Fan is a historic district containing one of the nation’s largest collections of early 20th-century Victorian homes. The Fan is named for how the streets in the neighborhood physically fan out westward from scenic Monroe Park to the Boulevard.
The Fan offers plenty of luxury apartments and lofts as well as townhouses in diverse architectural stylings for rent within walking distance of Virginia Commonwealth University. The Fan is also home to a vibrant Main Street, where colorful murals adorn tasty eateries, art galleries, cafes, and bars. Carytown and the Museum District border the Fan to the west, providing additional opportunities for excitement nearby.
