[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can I correct a few myths here?

1. Yes its cheaper, but not that much. A "big nice house" in Short Pump or Midlothian is still going to cost $600-700k or more. (If you want to be in the "right" school districts.)

2. If you live in one of the above mentioned places but don't work in the same general area, there is a TON of traffic to cross town or drive downtown for work.

I LOL when people act like its this cheap, traffic-free land. [/quote]

I'm the poster that is from there. You can buy a house in my old neighborhood for around 400K - decent schools, four bedrooms, renovated kitchen. That said, you can't argue that a 600-700K house in richmond is going to be A LOT nice than what that gets you here. Sorry, there is no comparison. Do a zillow search! Ridiculous. Housing is cheaper there. Yes if you want a mansion and you want to send your kids to one of the nice privates, you need to pull in a lot of money, just like here. But a decent house with schools that are good is just cheaper there.

Agree about the traffic. And little walkability. [/quote]
