Situated at the confluence of the James and Appomattox Rivers, Hopewell combines historical significance with riverside living. Originally established in 1613 as City Point, Hopewell holds the distinction of being one of the oldest continuously inhabited English settlements in the United States, serving as General Ulysses S. Grant's headquarters during the Civil War. This independent city of approximately 23,000 residents offers apartment homes at competitive prices, with average one-bedroom apartments renting for around $858 per month—below Virginia's state average of $1,791.
Hopewell's ongoing development includes the Riverwalk boardwalk, which showcases waterfront views. The City Point district and downtown area feature various apartment communities, while the city's location provides access to surrounding employment areas. The proximity to Interstate 295 connects residents to Richmond and Petersburg. Local features include the Maude Langhorne Nelson Library and the restored Beacon Theatre, which hosts concerts and events throughout the year, adding to Hopewell's appeal as a riverside community.
