Tree-shaded streets and access to downtown Richmond in Cullenwood
With its narrow streets shaded by towering trees, the Cullenwood neighborhood of Richmond almost has a rural feel. But the reality is that the neighborhood is just 5 miles south of downtown Richmond. “One thing people like about the area is the proximity to downtown. You’re close, but still far enough away that it’s quiet and affordable,” says Daphne MacDougal, a Broker with the Steele Group Sotheby’s International, who has been representing real estate transactions in the city for over 15 years. There are no sidewalks in the neighborhood, and because it is some distance to major amenities, residents need their own transportation. However, there are several Greater Richmond Transit Company bus stops located nearby on Highway 301. The Central Virginia VA Medical Center is 2 miles north of the neighborhood, serving Veterans and their families. Chippenham Hospital is 20 minutes away by car on Jahnke Road, to the northwest of the neighborhood.

The park provides visitors with a playground, courts for tennis, pickleball and basketball, and multiple sports fields.

Nearby shopping and a popular seafood spot
Most residents of Cullenwood get their groceries at Big Apple Supermarket, located less than a mile east on Terminal Avenue. The Southside Plaza Mall is about 5 minutes away by car, where shoppers will find a variety of retail stores that include Shoe City, Citi Trends Clothing and Beauty Empire. For fresh crab and shrimp, locals head to Crab Hut, which is a pretty accurate description of this one-room building that looks more like a backyard shed. But don’t be fooled by the appearance, because the “Sold Out” banner hung outside when they run out of their daily catch tends to go up quickly.
