Reply to comment by dogwithab1rd in Rent too damn high? Landlords have formed an illegal cartel according to several reports by cogitator_tertius

Howdy neighbor!

Bburg is expensive and more so now than when I first moved from rva. We moved to cburg for the cheap rent and although I seriously miss the bburg community events and parks, I can now afford to save. Hoping to move back to rva eventually. I hope you make your way back too if that's what you want! Rva is special.

Howdy! It's nice to see someone who also moved to the NRV from Richmond!

I live with my boyfriend now, and our place is actually really decent, especially given how expensive the rest of this town is. I think we pay about $850 for a 1bd? I used to live with my mom in RVA, and she now pays $1300 for a place in Roanoke. Not nearly as expensive as Richmond, but still far from ideal.

I do hope to go back once he graduates from college. I miss RVA so, so much, but Blacksburg and Christiansburg have wormed their way into my heart too. 💕
