Reply to comment by Kindly_Boysenberry_7 in RVA Real Estate AMA - "What The H*ll Is Happening?" Edition by Kindly_Boysenberry_7

That is super helpful, especially the undervalued city neighborhoods bit. Thank you! Any take on where you would buy if you were considering going out to the burbs?

Okay I know NOTHING about Chesterfield County. That's my partner's expertise, so can't help you there. Same with Hanover County, I just don't know it well enough to be value added.

Lots depends on budget, need for decent school district, etc. If you are looking at $300,000+ but need a good elementary school, I like Westhampton Annex. If you don't need a decent elementary school, I really like Bryan Park and the area around Westwood Racquet Club. But I also like older homes, if you prefer new construction you'd probably look other places.

Randolph is a great option for in the city. Fulton may be worth a look as well.
