Fulton
Fulton sits where the East End slides down to the river, a neighborhood the twentieth century did not treat gently. Urban renewal flattened Fulton Bottom in the 1970s, and the scar is still legible in the street grid and the empty parcels. What remains is hillside Victorians, a quietly stubborn community, and views of the James that no zoning map can take away. Greenways and warehouse conversions are creeping in; so is the speculation that follows them. The tradeoff is honest: you trade walkability and amenity density for river proximity, history with teeth, and a price point that has not fully caught up.
