The Fan District

Contact us

Richmond’s most beloved historic neighborhood.

The Fan District is where Richmond’s architectural history and lifestyle intersect. Developed between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the neighborhood is known for its elegant Edwardian rowhouses, Lower Fan Victorian homes, and distinctive brick and slate townhomes that frame its broad, fanned-out avenues.

Today, the Fan is thriving. Its streets are lined with local cafés, restaurants, small parks, and meticulously restored homes—an ideal blend of urban walkability, architectural detail, and early-20th-century craftsmanship. It remains one of the most sought-after neighborhoods for homeowners who appreciate character, community, and timeless design.

Park27 is especially fond of the Fan. We have been living, working and selling in the Fan since 1982. In representing you as a buyer, seller or both, we can offer you unsurpassed knowledge of the neighborhood.
