Why Choose Richmond, VA?
Richmond blends rich history, vibrant arts, and strong neighborhood variety that make it an excellent place to buy a home.
Find historic rowhouses in Church Hill and the Fan, modern lofts in Scott’s Addition, and suburban single-family homes in the West End. Enjoy world-class museums like the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, hands-on exhibits at the Science Museum of Virginia, and outdoor recreation along the James River Park System.
A growing job market (healthcare, finance, government, and tech), walkable districts, a lively dining and craft-beer scene, and generally lower costs than bigger East Coast metros make Richmond appealing for newcomers seeking culture, convenience, and long-term value.
Neighborhoods & housing
Historic rowhouses, modern condos, and suburban homes across price ranges for urban or quieter living.
Jobs & commuting
Strong employers (healthcare, finance, government, tech); many neighborhoods offer short, walkable commutes.
Lifestyle & amenities
Museums, festivals, restaurants, craft beer, and easy outdoor access via the James River and city parks.
Practical considerations
Competitive taxes; expect higher maintenance and inspection needs in historic homes.
Richmond is easy to settle into — active neighborhood groups and regular markets connect you quickly, expanding transit and walkable streets make getting around simple, and a lower cost of living than larger East Coast cities means your housing dollars go further.

- Mekia LewThomas inspections is the only company that I trust to perform my home inspections. When I first purchased my home, I had them to perform my inspection. They also performed my 1 year inspection prior to being in my home for a year. They are a veteran friendly company who pays attention to detail and are passionate about the work they do. The best thing about the inspectors is that they listen to any concerns that you may have and address them accordingly. They are VERY knowledgeable about their work. I totally provide my highest recommendation to anyone looking to have home inspections performed.read moreread less
