Directly south of Richmond is the historic city with a modern charm of Petersburg, Virginia. Just a mile and a half to Virginia State University and close to West End Park, popular for its basketball courts, track and field. And only 5 minutes to Fort Gregg Adams!

Between the many historical sights, local parks, and popular theaters, renters will find it difficult to get bored in a city like this. Downtown Petersburg or Old Towne, for locals, has plenty of trendy coffee shops, restaurants, and boutiques for residents to enjoy. Another town staple, River Street Market, is a large farmer’s market that allows people to showcase their produce, culture, and craft. Whether it’s through the farmer’s market, the theater programs, art shows, or many volunteer programs, the Petersburg community has a lot of pride in their city and love to support one another.

Renters will find that it is easy to travel around the city due to the Petersburg Area Transit that runs through the city and to Richmond. For the drivers, Interstate 85 and Interstate 95 go right through Petersburg and leads to the surrounding areas including Richmond.
