The Honest Part
What Scott's Addition & Jackson Ward trades away
Noisy on weekends. Scott's Addition is mostly new construction (less historic charm). Jackson Ward revitalization is real but uneven. Limited green space in both areas. Highway projects may cause disruption.
Most zone pages skip this part. Every place in Greater Richmond gives something up, and knowing which thing before you tour is worth more than another photo gallery.
