The Fan District

The Fan District is one of Richmond’s most well loved and dynamic neighborhoods. It is where many things come together in Richmond. The Neighborhood has a long and colorful history that has its roots in William Byrd’s Richmond but the neighborhood that we know today was developed in the very late 19th & early 20th centuries. It’s mostly made up of Edwardian era townhouses with some Victorian homes in the lower fan. Like many early 20th century neighborhoods its first heyday faded after World War II. Now at the beginning of the 21st century, the Fan is revitalized and re-energized.

More than ever before, the Fan is a neighborhood for everyone. With the Monument Avenue showplaces, elegant comfortable townhouses or even efficient, modern condominiums, the Fan District has a housing solution for almost everyone. Historically correct renovations complement thoughtful contemporary rehabilitations. It offers gracious, convenient, contemporary city living just minutes from Downtown.
