Church Hill
Church Hill sits on the bluff east of downtown, the oldest neighborhood in Richmond and the one most aware of it. St. John's Church - where Patrick Henry did the liberty-or-death speech - anchors a grid of cobblestones, painted-lady rowhouses, and skyline views that genuinely earn the postcard treatment. Sub Rosa Bakery and a small cluster of restaurants give it dinner-date credibility without the Scott's Addition crowds. The honest caveat: the hill is steep, parking is a negotiation, and the neighborhood thins out fast once you walk past the historic core. Charming, not convenient. Bring a date who layers.
