    "Walking around the fan and looking at all the seasonal wreaths and decorations on beautiful old row houses doesn’t get old. It’s such a pretty neighborhood. From the fan it’s also not too far (~1 mile) to the lakes at Byrd park, which is also a great place to walk your dog. You can also walk to the fan vet! Lots of restaurants are within walking distance too, along with dentists, small parks, coffee shops, museums, and markets. I walk my dog to Carytown from the fan too (~1 mile). Sugar and Twine in Carytown makes dog treats, and many of the stores are dog friendly. There are fun neighborhood events like house tours, a block that closes for Halloween, and an art walk."
  • Katie Lynn
    "It’s a beautiful sight to walk around, lots of grass but in pockets. Monument ave is a good strip to run with your dog on grass"

    "I lived here 7-8 years ago and it was wonderful then. Even better now. So many great restaurants, art galleries, parks and other things to do. And now it is right on a bus line, which is so convenient. And only about 5 blocks to VCU, too. Would love to live there again!"
