Historically a working-class neighborhood, early residents of Oregon Hill worked at the Tredegar Iron Works and Albemarle Paper Company during Reconstruction. These days, the neighborhood welcomes new faces while retaining its funky vibe.

Flagship Address: Cherry Street

Sandwiched between Cary Street and the river, Oregon Hill offers spectacular views of downtown and the James. New townhouses are being built and historic buildings are being renovated and restored, with revitalization efforts strengthening the already independent and tight-knit community.
