Swansboro West offers an easygoing Southside address with quick connections to downtown Richmond and the riverfront energy of nearby Manchester. Tucked between long-established blocks and new infill, the neighborhood blends classic cottages and brick ranches with refreshed homes, creating options for first-time buyers and long-time residents alike. Its position just west of Swansboro means everyday errands, local eateries along Hull Street, and community services are minutes from your door.
Outdoorsy weekends come naturally here. Carter Jones Park crowns the hill with ballfields and skyline views, and the trails, rapids, and boat launches of the James River Park System are a short hop away, perfect for paddling, hiking, or a sunset walk along pedestrian bridges maintained by the James River Park System and the broader City of Richmond Parks & Recreation network. Commuters appreciate multiple GRTC routes linking Southside to key employment hubs; plan your ride with GRTC.
