1/10Living in Richmond
Old Town Manchester occupies Richmond’s south bank of the James River, facing downtown across the water. Its historic streets and former industrial buildings reflect the neighborhood’s past, while converted warehouses, murals and newer development shape its present-day character. The riverfront is a defining feature: Manchester Floodwall Walk offers elevated views, and nearby Belle Isle and the James River Park System provide trails, rocky river scenery and outdoor recreation. Dining spots and coffee shops are scattered among the neighborhood’s historic blocks, with additional shopping, restaurants and nightlife across the river in downtown Richmond. The area’s compact street grid makes walking and biking practical for local trips; bridges connect it to downtown, and bus service and major roads offer other ways around the city. Old Town Manchester’s median rent is $1,534 per month, with a typical range of $1,131 to $3,250, based on 26 active listings.
