Fulton blends riverfront scenery, railroad-era heritage, and fresh reinvestment, all minutes from downtown Richmond and adjacent to Church Hill and Montrose Heights. Streets roll from hillside views to a low-lying grid rebuilt after the 1970s floods, creating a mix of renovated cottages, new townhomes, and light industrial spaces turned creative studios. Weekends hum with cyclists on the Virginia Capital Trail, anglers along the canal, and sunrise paddlers slipping past Great Shiplock Park toward the falls.
Dining and entertainment cluster nearby at Rocketts Landing, where riverfront patios, a marina, and community events put the James front and center. Just up Williamsburg Avenue, the taproom and beer garden at Stone Brewing Richmond anchor a growing corridor of eateries and maker spaces. Gillies Creek Park adds room to roam with ballfields, a disc golf course, and BMX track, while the James River Park System’s trailheads are close enough for after-work loops.
Families are served by Richmond Public Schools, with local programs, athletics, and specialty offerings that connect students to museums, universities, and outdoor learning across the East End. Commuters appreciate quick hops to I-64, the airport, and riverfront employers, and the neighborhood’s active civic groups and porch culture make meeting neighbors easy.
