    Zip code 23223 spans Richmond’s historic East End—think Church Hill, Union Hill, and Chimborazo—where 19th-century rowhouses meet newer apartments on walkable, tree-lined streets. Expect four distinct seasons with warm, humid summers and mild winters, sweeping river views from Libby Hill and Chimborazo parks, and easy access to the Virginia Capital Trail for biking and jogs. The area blends strong community vibes with a standout dining scene (The Roosevelt, Sub Rosa Bakery, Proper Pie Co., Union Market, Alewife), cozy coffee culture, nearby local breweries, and farmers’ markets; groceries are convenient at The Market @ 25th, with bigger-box options at nearby White Oak Village. Families and pets fit right in thanks to playgrounds, the Church Hill dog park, and Gillies Creek Park’s disc golf and BMX. According to Zillow’s recent Market Trends for 23223, the median asking rent over the past few months has hovered in the mid-$1,400s, with most listings roughly $1,100–$2,000, and commuters appreciate quick access to downtown and I-64/95.
