Most overrated things about Richmond
Hey everyone, My family moved here when I was a kid. Homes are going for about $135,500 on average. Average temperature is around 54--F, so expect cold winters. The median home value here is around $135,500, which is actually reasonable. The unemployment rate is 1.3%, which is pretty low. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Friendly people
- Good healthcare facilities
- Strong sense of community
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Limited dining options
- Lack of diversity
- Poor road conditions
- Chain restaurants dominate
What do you all think? TIA! It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The city has invested a lot in new development. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
