There's a couple posts asking this, but nothing recent, so I'll just make a new post: how bad is it ACTUALLY to live in East End?

My wife and I are looking to buy a house, and most of the houses that fit our criteria and are in our price range are in the East End. Everyone tells me not to live in the East End. Is it really that bad? What areas are considered safe or unsafe? Also something to consider: we are 2 gay women. Is the area generally accepting of LGBT folk? Any advice would be appreciated!

I’m 21 and I work full time in makeup! I’m looking to move back to Richmond in August for school part time and need a studio or one bedroom under $850 including utilities. I know this is a tough ask, but i’ve seen things like this come up! does anyone know and private landlords or property management groups that offer apartments in this range?

I’d consider moving into an open room, as long as you’re comfortable with a cat and small dog.

Anyone looking for housing starting August 1st? I am looking for someone to take over my lease in a 2bed 2 bath. Rent is 1294 per person with garage parking included (you can remove parking and drop rent to 1194). I WILL SPLIT 1st month rent with you as an incentive!!

I am considering both of these apartments because I am looking for an apartment with a surface parking lot. Does anyone have any experience with these apartments?

Happy Sunday! As we all know, RVA renting can be a nightmare. I’m wondering if anyone has any experience renting from John Fitzhugh aka Bellona Farms?

I’ve been seeing his properties on Zillow but have never heard of them. They seem like decent apartments and I’m wondering if there’s a catch.
