I can live anywhere and considered other options, but kept dreaming of a rowhouse in the fan. The historic houses are gorgeous and I love looking at them every day. People are much more friendly and neighborly than I’ve experienced anywhere else. There are lots of dogs too. I can walk to coffee, parks, a bakery, groceries, the dentist, my doctor, etc.
I've only been living in The Fan for a few months now but overall I LOVE IT! What I like most about The Fan is the ability to walk everywhere, especially to all my favorite restaurants! On the weekends it can be noisy, but what do you expect since there are lots of bars and restaurants around. I think The Fan could be improved with better public transportation and also resources set out to help homeless people. If you were new to Richmond and looking for a place to live, I would definitely recommend it to anyone!
Love the architecture, restaurants, and folliage. But the residents cowered to the VCU rioters and allowed destruction of property, which was shameful.
