Review of Richmond, Virginia


Considering Relocating to Richmond.. Some advice ?
Star Rating - 10/18/2006
Hi everyone,
I have been keeping an eye on some of the recent posts in regards to Richmond. So far, it is above average in respect to how everyone views the city. That is a good start. My wife and I are now living in Glendale, Az (suburb of Phoenix) and we can not stand it at all. There are good and bad factors, but the bad outweighs the good by far in my opinion. The city is ful of transcients from all over the US and nobody seems to be friendly towards one another unless your in their clique of friends. My main concern is if this is a suitable place for a young, new family. We are just starting our family, and have a baby on the way. We want to get out of Phoenix, because as some of you may know, Phoenix and arizona are ranked dead last as far as education. I also would like to know about the housing prices, and the economy as far as jobs go. If anyone at all could inform me of some of these concerns that I am having, it would be greatly appreciated... Thank you
