This was a really nice post. One thing to remind people is a flipped house does not mean a new house, it is still a used house with all the used house problem and to be honest even the best contractor or flipper is not looking for problems with a fine tooth comb, so you will still fine stuff that needs fixing, because flipper normally isn’t really living in the house.

Ya most bbq places

It is so good!

Wow people actually read all the other moving post and news flash it makes us look like a-holes haha. Honestly Richmond is great! $350k in the city itself is going to be in a interesting area haha. Don’t move to any area around an area with COURT spelled out. But honestly living on either side of the city in the suburbs will give more bang for you buck and most area are less than 30 minute drive in. You can definitely live without a car in the city, but you will enjoy your life more if you have one.

Um just seems like your landlord is hoping you will leave, probably doesn’t like the previous contract either.

Just tell them if they wish speak to you please provide written notice and a physical address/meeting time for a meeting and then.

Exactly if Richmond is to small for people, they should leave, and move to a bigger city. i meet a lot more people moving from New York than people moving to new york from Richmond. Plus your the one commenting on my comment. I just wanted to express my personal opinion that Richmond offer a much better quality of life for Virginia than New york does for new yorkers….

I would say not really, but you believe what you want

Live here my whole life and the river can get fragrant but nothing compared to new york just general stench.

Been to new york a handful of times and the place smell like sh*t on a hot summers day and everything was triple the price and 5x worse quality wise. It always amazes me how many people are willing to put up with living in such a miserable place.

Definitely better than New York!

Ya been since the mid 90s, sorry to hear that, never had any issues with crime in the county or really the city. I mean the incorporated city boundaries are pretty small, so many of the areas people consider the city are the counties…. But hey to each their own glad you like our city.

Okay, I mean their are a lot of great local places in the counties as well, I mean the city is great for 4-5 years, but there so much to explore in Virginia, live here all my life and honest the time I enjoyed the least was living in the middle of the city.

Really getting in the James in the city is like rolling the dice if your going to a rash, but 30 mins up river the water is beautiful and clean, we have amazing state parks dotted around the surrounding counties. A hour Northwest and your in amazing wine country. The Mountains and beach are like 2 hours away. I would say that the surrounding area have a lot to offer, not that Richmond is lame, but what really finishes the masterpiece that is Richmond is the surrounding areas.

It is doable, but just understand that Richmond is not DC or New York. We have the pulse bus line, uber/lyft, and those scooter things. The main thing your going to run into is of the most great things about Richmond are the surrounding areas which public transit specifically doesn’t go to. For Some stupid reason people in the suburbs believe that having public transit into the city will cause the rifraf to invade, so only the city itself has decent public transport. Also, btw, the buses like to hit people here, so never cross a street when a GTRC bus is around. Finally the ebike sounds great, but bike theft is definitely a thing here, so just make sure you have a go way to store it. You mentioned your budget is a million dollars in some comments, which great for you, but understand the locals don’t really appreciate out of towner coming in and driving up real estate price, so maybe don’t mention that if your trying to make friends. Best of luck, hope you like Richmond!
