Oregon Hill Home for Sale

Oregon Hill in Richmond is a historic neighborhood known for its unique architectural style, reminiscent of New Orleans, featuring Italianate row houses from the late 1800s and early 1900s, with some newer constructions from the 2000s and 2010s. The neighborhood's tight grid layout means most homes have street parking, and many feature wide front porches and small fenced-in gardens. Oregon Hill is adjacent to the 135-acre Hollywood Cemetery, a 19th-century rural garden-style cemetery that serves as both a burial ground and a recreational space with biking, walking, and picnicking areas. The neighborhood also overlooks James River Park, offering hiking, rock climbing, swimming, kayaking, and whitewater rafting. Local attractions include the Rest in Pieces curiosity shop, Hollywood Cemetery, and the Edgar Allen Poe house. Dining options feature the fine dining experiences at Restaurant Adarra and L’Opossum. For groceries, residents can visit a nearby Kroger and Whole Foods. Oregon Hill hosts an annual Halloween parade with creative themes and community participation. The neighborhood is well-connected, with GRTC buses and the Downtown Expressway providing access across Richmond, and Richmond International Airport located 10 miles east. Schools in the area include the highly rated William Fox Elementary School and Open High School, with Virginia Commonwealth University's main campus within walking distance. Oregon Hill has a lower crime risk compared to downtown Richmond.
