Chimborazo Homes for Rent

Chimborazo, located in Richmond, is part of the Oakwood-Chimborazo Historic District, featuring late-19th- and early 20th-century homes in Victorian, Queen Anne, Federal, and Colonial Revival styles. The neighborhood primarily consists of detached single-family homes with small backyards, alongside some townhouses and duplexes. Chimborazo Park, a 30-acre green space on the neighborhood’s southern edge, includes walking trails, a playground, basketball and tennis courts, and the Chimborazo Medical Museum. Bill Robinson Park offers additional recreational facilities such as pickleball, tennis, basketball courts, a baseball field, and a horseshoe pit. Local conveniences include ChimboMart and Farm Fresh for everyday shopping needs. Dining options nearby include Alewife, known for Mid-Atlantic seafood, and Grisette, offering French cuisine.

Public schools in the area include Chimborazo Elementary, Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School, and Armstrong High School, which has a Future Center for post-graduation planning.
