Thanks for your feedback however, it is absolutely a breeze when considering the traffic here compared to Hampton Roads, Northern Virginia, DC, New York, New Jersey, etc. I find that a lot of people relocate to Richmond from those areas so to them it will certainly be a breeze in comparison to what they're used to. What area do you live in Robert?

@@xavierhayes5955 Thanks, I appreciate the feedback!

@@lucasmolo8321 Thank you, I feel the same! Do you live here, do you travel here, or have you only seen VA via KZbin?

@@scarystories190 Sorry to hear that you feel that way and I appreciate your feedback. Every city/area has it's perks and quirks no matter where you go, I've lived in this area almost 48 years now and I feel like Hopewell has come a long way. If you're currently living there and not happy then please reach out so we can get you relocated to another area that will suit your needs. Thanks!

@@RichmondVirginiaLife I already have 3 homes, thanks anyway. Hopewell has gone downhill especially with their Treasurers office. You don't know what I know about the crooked city council.

@@scarystories190 Ahhh gotcha... Sorry to hear your experience hasn't been the best! Let me know if you decide to sell any of the homes there, I always have clients and investors looking in that area! Thanks

@@ringo8410 Very cool! Yes it has but they've done a really good job with keeping the "small town" feel and maintaining the parks despite the growth. How long has it been since you've been here? Where are you currently living?

@@RichmondVirginiaLife It's been over 20 years now, but I grew up there in the '90s. I live in a different part of the state now, but only about 2 hours away from Chester.

@@ringo8410 Yeah, it's definitely changed ALOT since then! Thanks for watching and for the comments, it's always nice to hear from people who used to live in the area and haven't been here in a while.

@@RichmondVirginiaLife Love Chester. I do get back from time to time, but nowhere near as much as I'd like.

@@ringo8410 Oh sorry, I misunderstood you... I thought you were saying you hadn't been back in 20+ years!

@@Mncrr... Absolutely, there are MANY great restaurants in that area and in Richmond in general! What's your favorite?

@@RichmondVirginiaLife my son and his wife live there. Have been to Stella’s and an Italian restaurant I can’t recall the name. Hope to try many more

@@Mncrr Stella's is a Richmond staple and was recently named most popular restaurant in the city! If you like dessert, you must try Shyndigz!

@@ginomcdonald551 Awesome man, I appreciate the comment... Glad I could be of service to you! It's so neat to hear stories like this and I never know when I do these videos how I can help others in so many different ways! Where do you live now?

Thanks Jay, I always appreciate your feedback especially since you've been in the game a lot longer than me!

@@RichmondVirginiaLife your editing is on point. You definitely look like you’ve been doing this a while.

@@FindingJay Thanks Jay, glad you liked it! I passed you yesterday on Woodpecker, right over near "The Highlands"... Couldn't miss that tricked out Raptor Bronco! 💪🏼

@@RichmondVirginiaLife i’m just trying to be like you 😁

@@FindingJay Thanks, I appreciate the feedback... It most certainly is!

Awesome, I love that place... Have you been? Did you live here locally before or are you from out of the area?

That's great! What's prompting the move and what types of things will be important to you when looking for a rental?

@@RichmondVirginiaLife places to eat and museums art galleries parks to hike. City vibe. We are from New York so I love the city but have been living in Virginia Beach and Fairfax Virginia for close to thirty years. I’m retired and I’m an artist so looking to break out into the art scene. Our youngest daughter went to VCU and graduated with two bachelor degrees in journalism so we got to know the city on long visits we fell in love with the Cary town area. Fan district. Now looking to make a big change. Virginia Beach is great but not much to do here. I’m a very active seventy year old and looking to explore myself in a great city. I love the old houses and buildings and Richmond’s charm. Yes we are seriously considering Richmond

That's great, it certainly sounds like you know exactly what you want and the areas you would like to be in, so you have a nice head start for sure! Richmond definitely has all the things that you mentioned therefore would be a perfect fit for your needs and interests. Let's stay in touch, I'd be glad to help y'all in anyway that I can. Is your daughter still in the Richmond area as well?

Thanks for your comment... If you're from Seattle then you are definitely familiar with HIGH priced real estate! My Admin is from there and has been an agent for 20+ so we've had alot of conversations about the real estate market there. Richmond is a small city with a big city vibe and comparatively speaking, it's much less than other nearby cities such as DC, VA Beach, Philadelphia, New Jersey, New York, etc. If you're considering the move here then maybe you should consider some of the suburbs such as Chesterfield, Henrico, Midlothian, etc. I have a few videos: The Highlands, Brandermill, Woodlake, and Chester that highlight those areas and may interest you. Let me know if I can help!
