Fairmount Homes for Rent

Fairmount, a historic neighborhood in east Richmond, is experiencing a revitalization that integrates its rich past with modern developments. Originally a late 19th-century "trolley suburb," Fairmount retains much of its original architecture, including Italianate and Queen Anne homes, alongside remodeled bungalows and Craftsman-style houses. Recent rejuvenation efforts have led to new residential and commercial projects, including the neighborhood's first full-service grocery store, The Market at 25th, which opened in 2019. This store, attached to a modern apartment complex, features a deli, bakery, and pharmacy, and hosts community events. Dining options include DaVinci’s Pizza and the award-winning Metzger Bar & Butchery, both within a mile of most homes. Fairmount is also home to Lucks Field, a park featuring a multiuse field, tennis courts, and a playground, with a new community center underway. The neighborhood is well-connected, with bus stops from the Greater Richmond Transit Company and proximity to Richmond Main Street Station and Richmond International Airport, just 7 miles away. While Fairmount students attend schools in the Richmond Public Schools system, the schools have mixed ratings. The neighborhood's ongoing revitalization and historical charm make it a practical choice for those seeking a vibrant community with modern conveniences.
