North Side (Richmond Virginia)

North Side (Richmond Virginia)

, Sherwood Park, etc. These neighborhoods are made up of houses with a variety of architectural styles, which include Arts and Crafts Bungalows, Victorian, Romanesque Revival, and Queen Anne houses among other styles.

The terminology "North Side" also broadly includes much of central Henrico County as a portion of the Richmond Metropolitan area. Communities outside the city limits in this area include the census-designated places of Chamberlayne, Dumbarton, East Highland Park, Glen Allen, Lakeside, and Laurel. Because Henrico County is at its narrowest in this area, portions of Hanover County, which at its closest point is less than five miles from the city limits, may also be included in a broad reference to Richmond's "North Side".

Some notable commercial and civic attractions on the North Side are Virginia Center Commons shopping mall, remnants of the Azalea Mall, Joseph Bryan Park, Richmond International Raceway, and Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden.
