Venable Neighborhood

Venable, a 133.23-acre neighborhood just north of the University’s Central Grounds, is home to the Rugby Road area and The Corner, a business district filled with shops and restaurants, located on University Avenue between Chancellor Street and 12 ½ Street. Historically an important student housing location, many of the large, late 19th century houses in the area are student rentals.
