Richmond is a great city! Much larger than a color so there is a lot more opportunities to meet people. It has a very upbeat urban vibe and many eclectic neighborhoods. It truly is the center of culture and innovation for Virginia. If walkability is important to you then the following downtown neighborhoods are worth checking out….. The Fan district, The Museum District, Manchester, Church Hill/Union Hill, City Center, Jackson Ward, Riverside and Scott’s Addition . Each of these neighborhoods have their own unique vibe. Richmond is also very conveniently located, interesting, fun and growing very quickly. The city has SO many beautiful parks and beautiful architecture along with modern skyscrapers and stunning natural beauty with the James River Park System running right through downtown. All in all there is just so much more going on in Richmond. Good luck on your move let me know if you have any more questions. I love Richmond and am happy to share my love of it with others
