Blackwell sets you close to the river on the Southside of Richmond, where early 20th-century brick homes mix with thoughtful new construction on a classic city grid. Residents enjoy quick access to the riverfront via the T. Tyler Potterfield Memorial Bridge and the James River Park System, a regional gem for trails, paddling, and skyline views, with year-round programs and park updates available through the James River Park System’s official site. Just up Hull Street, the energy of Manchester brings galleries, coffee spots, and casual eateries within minutes, while downtown is an easy hop across the river for work or a night out.
Families are served by Richmond Public Schools, and you can explore programs, specialty offerings, and enrollment details through Richmond Public Schools. Weekends often include a stop at the Hull Street Library for story time, homework help, or community events, all highlighted on the Hull Street Library page. Commuters appreciate multiple GRTC Transit System routes along Hull and Commerce, connecting Southside to major job centers without the parking headache.
