Richmond is known for many things - restaurants, museums, the river ... and even its neighborhoods. Here's a look by the numbers at some of the neighborhoods of Richmond: 

600 plus

Historical structures in Jackson Ward as listed by the National Register of Historical Places.

20

Blocks that make up Oregon Hill.

4

Principal architechtural styles that make up Ginter Park Terrace neighborhood, according to the Alliance to Conserve Old Richmond Neighborhoods Web site. The 36-acre neighborhood boasts American Foursquare, Colonial Revival, Craftsman and Ranch with the dominant styles being American Foursquare and Craftsman. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish these two styles from each other because there are many shared architectural characteristics. However, regardless of style, the homes that rhythmically grace the streets of Ginter Park Terrace are a remarkably intact microcosm of an early 20th century suburb of Richmond.

11

Neighborhood-specific blogs dedicated to specific news about their community, including crime, traffic and development.

Churches in Church Hill

Neighborhoods touched by Virginia Commonwealth University. The neighborhoods include Oregon Hill, the Fan, Carver and Jackson Ward.
