[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Richmond is underrated.  We know several families that have relocated there over the past 5 or so years and I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t have a tinge of envy.  Most live in the Near West End neighborhood around Libbie Avenue and it’s like some yuppie version of pleasantville.  Everyone knows each other, immaculate homes and yards, parents put cones in the streets on the weekends and the kids play basketball with the neighbors etc.  Just looks like a fantastic, convenient place to live.

But again, unless you do private you can’t really live there if you have kids and care about education.
I say this as someone FROM Richmond. Totally different than somerset in Bethesda or martins additions which also give that vibe but have some of the best schools in the country.[/quote]

Privates are far less expensive in RVA.  Also, the Munford and Fox districts are fantastic, at least K-5.  I also disagree re- “vibe.”  Richmond has much more character than the neighborhoods you mentioned, which are suburbs through and through.  Those houses pp posted are a 10 minute drive downtown, at most. [/quote]

Who pulls their kid out of school at 5th? If you think section 5 or others are burbs through and through when they’re a 10 min walk to METRO and Bethesda row and more then you’ve lost it. Enjoy the capital of the confederacy with the good ol boys of Richmond. If you think anyone living at Libby and grove are the same that mix with post college grads in the Dan you’re wrong. Richmond is usually a ghost town. It’s where people that can’t afford the DC metro move- flat out. Enjoy![/quote]
