Enjoy the apex of urban living in The Diamond. Located in the heart of Richmond, this neighborhood gets its name from The Diamond baseball stadium, which is perched in the center of the area and is home to the Flying Squirrels Minor League Baseball team. The area is currently undergoing major revitalization as part of Richmond’s $2.4 billion Diamond District project, which, when complete, will boast a brand-new baseball stadium, new multifamily homes, townhomes, and an 11-acre public park.
“The Diamond is a really walkable area,” says Anne Soffee, Realtor with Small & Associates. “You’ve got restaurants right there and new shops popping up. Then if you walk own Boulevard, you’ve got everything — the movies, Starbucks, ice cream, bowling and tons of shopping. It’s super convenient.”
Some of these newly constructed apartments, condominiums and townhouses have already been built and moved into by their first residents. The Westbrook at Brewer’s Row offers upscale apartments with one to three bedrooms and amenities like a resort-style pool and sky lounge. Rent at these units ranges from $1,600 to $3,000 per month. For those looking to buy, The Outpost at Brewers Row is selling two-story luxury condos constructed in 2023, which range in price from $480,000 to $630,000, depending on size.
Students in The Diamond attend Linwood Holton Elementary School, Henderson Middle School and John Marshall High School. John Marshall High School earns high grades from Niche in athletics, resources, diversity, clubs and activities categories. Their powerhouse boys’ basketball team went undefeated in the 2022-2023 season, leading them to win the state championship.
For some fun outdoors, kids will love SOAR365, a modern neighborhood park located on Saunders Avenue that fatures play areas, swings and climbing structures designed for kids of all ages and abilities. Enjoy a picnic under the shade of an oak tree or reserve the pavilion for a larger gathering.
Check out Diversity Thrift, a colorful thrift store and community hub on Sherwood Avenue that sells a large collection of clothing, furniture and household items. A quick 2-mile drive down Arthur Ashe Boulevard will also land you in Carytown, a vibrant shopping district brimming with local boutiques and restaurants.
Enjoy Alpine-inspired cuisine at Brenner Pass on Rockbridge Street. With an airy ambiance and options like fondue and duck breast, this popular restaurant fills up quickly, so it’s best to make a reservation ahead of time. Satisfy your sweet tooth with a few creamy scoops of ice cream at Gelati Celesti on Arthur Ashe Boulevard. Hardywood Park Brewery is another popular spot where locals gather for craft beers, small concerts and local markets.
Catch a baseball game and fireworks show at The Diamond, where the Flying Squirrels play from April through September. The stadium also hosts a local vendor market, PopUp Market, every Saturday, along with other pop-up events.
With proximity to Interstates 195 and 64, residents of The Diamond can get across town quickly and directly.

Niche Review
Overall, it's a good area for recent grads or young adults. It's close to several breweries and many restaurants, close to the Fan without being right smack in the city itself. It's a decent area, but could still use some cleaning-up.
