[quote=Anonymous]I lived in the Fan during my 20s and now have family that live in the suburbs. I love Richmond and personally find it much nicer than the Northern VA suburbs. There's so much more culture and energy and vibrancy there. A cool city with a lot going on, similar amenities to NOVA but a lot more affordable, good schools, really good location. You're still pretty close to DC but even closer to the beach/Eastern Shore and other places, such as Charlottesville and the mountains, North Carolina, etc.

It's very liberal there. There are definitely pockets of "old money" Richmonders and right-leaning types, but they are definitely not the majority.

I overall get the impression that life is a lot less stressful there compared to the DC area, and that's enough for me to like it more. A more relaxed pace of living.

We have some friends that lived in the RVA suburbs for a long time but are retiring closer to the city - buying older properties in the West End/Museum District and renovating them. They're having a lot of fun and love the change of pace.
