There's like 3 or 4 around Richmond still. No idea on that location though. One on Hull St wasnt bad last time I went. Been a couple years though.

I live in the city, The Fan, specifically, and absolutely love it. I’ve been here for a couple of years, have had no crime issues, and though I quit running a few years ago, I do walk the neighborhood frequently. I’m single and normally out walking on my own. Again, no problems at all- but I don’t take unnecessary risks, either. I love being able to walk everywhere I want to go- to dinner, salon, dry cleaners, etc. My neighbors have been wonderful and a nice mix- young and old, singles and couples…all friendly. It may be a stretch to find what you’re looking for here for $350k. Possibly if you’re willing to do some renovations. Welcome! You’ll love it here!

Welcome to Richmond! All these people have great recommendations. My two cents is that the housing market is nuts and for your price range, I’d rent for a bit before buying. I have a hard time imagining that you’d be able to get something in that range that would appreciate like you would want in the next few years.

the issue here is that digital tips can range anywhere from $500-$900 a night and that’s not including cash. If they made $500 in digital tips and say 6 people worked that day that would be $83 per person which is a lot more than $2 added into their pay, seems a little unfair if you ask me

Richmond is great. People are telling you not to move here not because they don't like it, but because they do and feel that people moving here are pushing them out.

And you won't here any of this offline.

That said, there are better and worse areas. Hillside court is public housing, and strongly in the "worse" category

Not spicy at first but quickly creeps to medium/ hot and makes my nose run. Kind of a black pepper flavor. We don’t eat it, but I wish we could. Its been mixed vegetables in some kind of broth the last couple of visits.
