This is a strange comment. Thank God he was caught.

I agree. It sucks, but there’s we are at. I leave the city daily for the majority of my services. I only wish there were more neighborhoods in the Glen Allen HS area. There is a lot near Innsbrook but not my thing.

Ah, ok. Makes sense. They do look nice.

That looks like a nice neighborhood. I like the amenities. Some of those houses were upwards of 900k in the fall which blew my mind, so I hope it’s solid builder.

Lots of other big neighborhoods have used that builder— Charter Colony, Rutland, etc.

I do feel like those kids would be the first on the chopping block for a future high school rezone, but I’m no expert.

It’s nice they built that back road. VCC area seems to be making a monumental shift in change of the development like the mall. For the good.

You can do it!

-Family of those who’ve been through the same.

We did the Midlothan Mines park and the kids played in the yard this afternoon. Man, the sun was good for the soul. If we aren’t going to get snow, can it just be spring in Richmond?

Planning to watch You People tonight and go to bed early.

Wow, what line of work are you in? Love the enthusiasm.

I think if you guys don’t have kids, the city is perfect. I have been a city dweller for 15 years, primarily Fan, Museum District, and Northside. I have not lived in the areas you mentioned. There are SO many pros to living in the city. Here are some cons as a homeowner.

-My house is very old. We do a lot of work ourselves. But if we have to hire out, there is always some speciality product because it’s old, so. 💰

-Having kids, we want to use the amenities, but they kinda suck. We go over the county line for Parks and Rec and the library. They just aren’t as welcoming and the programming isn’t as expansive.

-There are a pocket of well-funded and supported schools, but many leave after elementary, and even then, people send their kid to 6 different schools, so the community feels fractured and distant.

In your position, I’d definitely live in the city, but I’d rent for a year and then buy.

Henrico County Public Library is doing an event either Thursday or Friday. Check their website for the specific libraries.

Classmates—try the Facebook group Support Richmond Public Schools. They might have ideas on names or connecting.

This has been my experience on that road. Not pulling into a house but turning right, a literal few seconds, and people freak out. I can’t imagine living on that road and having people pissed off.
