Don’t engage with strangers on the street. Richmond isn’t a warzone, but it also isn’t as safe as some people on here make it out to be. Nothing good happens after Midnight. The fan/Scott’s addition/ museum district are all pretty safe. Shockoe bottom is not safe, despite the weird amount of recommendations to live down there. Downtown is dead at night and kinda sketchy if it’s very late. Don’t go to any neighborhood ending in “Court”.
