Like Rome, Richmond, VA is a city that was built on seven hills. With all of the hills in Richmond, you may be wondering what are the “official” seven, where are they located and what makes these neighborhoods a great place to live in or own a business?

According to a 1937 ordinance by the City of Richmond, the seven official hills of RVA are:

• Union Hill
• Council Chamber Hill
• French Garden Hill
• Navy Hill
• Gambles Hill
• Shockoe Hill
• Church Hill
