The Fan

• Neighborhood in Richmond, VA
• 40

Current Resident: 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!

Byrd Park

• Neighborhood in Richmond, VA
• 4

Niche User: I recently moved to Blacksburg, VA after living in Richmond, VA for over 5 years. So far I have had a wonderful time adjusting to the new town. Getting my home unpacked and set up was quite easy, especially considering that I do not own a car. The bus system is timely, with many routes, and friendly service. I am able to get all over town to the utilities offices, internet providers, shopping centers, and the college campus. People are friendly and helpful. Bet of all my dog loves all the walking trails.

Capital District

• Neighborhood in Richmond, VA
• 3

Niche User: This area have proved to be a mixing bowl of all ethnic groups who share one belief in respecting one another. The atmosphere is a cloud where friendships are made around public events and race differences are shared and not hidden in the dark. In my area people acknowledge theirs differences in peace and have safe talks about. This allows all people to liver coherently. Currently I am planning to live here permanently in my adult future. Compared to other areas in the country I find this the best place to avoid race emotions.

The Museum District

• Neighborhood in Richmond, VA
• 9

Former Resident: Living in the Museum District was more than convenient - walking distance to restaurants and bars, parks, and of course... museums. Living in the Museum District, I was close to major highways and attractions all over the Richmond area. Not to mention the wide array of healthy eating/grocery store if you're into that sort of thing. The Museum District is slightly further from Virginia Commonwealth University's main campus, so the streets are a little quieter and more family-friendly, too. People are generally very nice and the area makes you feel that same sense of diversity that Richmond has always uniquely offered to its residents.

Willow Oaks

• Neighborhood in Richmond, VA
• 2

Niche User: Richmond is a great area for raising children. It has great schools, museums, culturally diverse activities, many parks and is close to the beach and mountains and Washington DC. I would choose to live here again. I see this area as continuing to grow and expand and the universities, especially VCU, playing more of a role in developing Richmond.
