Nestled between the Fan and Richmond’s West End, the Museum District offers residents walkable access to a host of metropolitan amenities and everyday conveniences. The neighborhood is convenient to numerous world-class museums as well as several banks, grocery stores, Steward Station Post Office, Belmont Library, and the abundant shopping, dining, and entertainment options in neighboring Carytown.
Diverse architecture abounds in the Museum District, with many old-fashioned homes and renovated apartments to choose from. A strong sense of community spirit pervades the Museum District, with a bevy of civic events held throughout the year, including town hall meetings, clean-up days, block parties, and the annual Mother’s Day Home and Garden Tour. In addition to the neighborhood’s walkability, quick access to I-195, U.S. 250, and the Downtown Expressway makes getting around from the Museum District simple.

Great, safe neighborhood for walking and enjoying the sites of Richmond. Carytown is nice for shopping. The VMFA is beautiful inside and out. The only thing I would change is to add more bike paths.

Richmond is incredible beautiful. We own our "River City" nickname as we're blessed to have the beautiful James River flow right between our borders.
