400 S Laurel St, Unit 1 · Apartments for Rent

The Location & Vibe Live in a charming piece of Richmond history! This owner-occupied shared house is a converted late-1800s corner commercial building in the heart of Oregon Hill. You cannot beat the location: four blocks from VCU and Monroe Park, a block from Hollywood Cemetery, across from Robert Pleasants Park, and a short walk or bike ride to Brown's Island, the James River, and the Fan . The house features high ceilings, exposed brick walls, abundant natural light, and an open, spacious floor plan. Please note: Because of its historic layout, the house is not mobility-friendly and requires navigating a relatively long flight of stairs to the second floor.
