About Tate

Springs

Tate Springs, located between Fort Avenue and Rivermont Avenue, is a residential and historic Lynchburg neighborhood with leafy streets and early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Fort Avenue corridor near the Boonsboro Road junction, where storefronts, patios, and steady foot traffic set a lived-in rhythm. Brick Colonials and Craftsman bungalows mix with tidy apartment buildings on rolling blocks that slope toward Blackwater Creek. Peaks View Park frames the area with ballfields and wooded edges, while the Blackwater Creek Trail adds a linear greenway feel. Community touchstones include the Academy Center of the Arts, Riverviews Artspace, and the Lynchburg Community Market for culture and local flavor.
