Neighborhoods

As the Museum District is itself a neighborhood, its identity is strongly defined by the distinct districts that surround it: * **Carytown**: Immediately to the south, offering nine blocks of vibrant, eclectic retail, dining, and the historic Byrd Theater. * **The Fan District**: To the east across Arthur Ashe Boulevard, known for its extensive Victorian residential architecture and tree-lined avenues. * **Scott's Addition**: To the north across Broad Street, a rapidly redeveloping industrial area now famous for its dense concentration of craft breweries, cideries, and loft apartments. * **Belmont/West of I-195**: To the west, a quieter residential continuation of the West End.
