Review of Richmond, Virginia


Richmond Housing
Star Rating - 8/19/2008
While there is a wide variety of housing types, the most desirable locations to live are considerably more expensive than the average home price. Price in the City is based on two factors: distance from Center City and school zone. In the City the schools are awful but the priciest real estate is west and north of the James River. In the suburbs, housing price is ontrolled mainly by schools your child will attend. As Richmond is an older and more conservative city, there is a long-standing tradition that anything south of the James River is for lesser folk, even though Chesterfield County has very attractive housing.
