Post Date: 02-12-2014
At Rocketts Landing, we’re cozily nestled along the James River just a mile east of downtown Richmond. We think our location gives us the best of both worlds: the tranquility of nature-rich living with instant access to all downtown RVA has to offer. We’re also located near some of the city’s most interesting neighborhoods: Church Hill, Shockoe Bottom and Shockoe Slip, to name a few. Living and working at Rocketts Landing isn’t just fun, inspiring and beautiful — it’s also super convenient.



So, we decided to highlight a list of some of the top service providers that are either located near Rocketts Landing or provide dependable service to our neighborhood. We’re featuring recommendations directly from Rocketts Landing residents or employees (shown with an asterisk) or companies with great reviews online. From salons to pet grooming to home repair and beyond, there’s a little something for nearly every need right around the river.
