Although there are some areas of Richmond that have higher crime rates than others, overall, I feel safe living where I do.

Richmond is incredible beautiful. We own our "River City" nickname as we're blessed to have the beautiful James River flow right between our borders.

Although there are tons of growing businesses all around Richmond, it appears that the job market has stagnated a little here. However, it is still possible to find work if you look hard enough.
