The East End of Richmond, Virginia is actually a collection of neighborhoods. The most recognized of these hills is Church Hill, named for its many churches, the most renowned of which is St. John’s Episcopal, site of Patrick Henry’s speech. The surrounding neighborhood, also known as Church Hill, is Richmond’s oldest, and its antebellum homes, gas lamps, brick sidewalks, and national historic status make it the City’s most famous as well. Richmond corporate apartment residents will find that the terminology "East End" broadly includes much of eastern Henrico County and part of Hanover County area. Richmond corporate apartment residents will find there is more to the East End than the historic district. The Fulton area, south of Church Hill against the county line, offers Richmond corporate apartment residents quiet streets, small frame and brick houses and a close- knit community. A strong sense of family and local pride exists throughout the East End; neighbors look out for each other and many families have lived in the same house for generations. For a great sample of what Richmond has to offer—history, beauty, family and opportunity—look no farther than its East End.
