With that budget you could probably get a 1b1b pretty much anywhere. If your looking for something new and nice check out the Scott's Collection properties in Scott's Addition by Greystar. They are a bit bougie for me, but you got a pretty nice budget.

I rent from Legend Properties, and have enjoyed them for the most part. They have quite a few properties scattered around the Richmond area and would also be a great choice.

If you do find yourself under budget when you find a place feel free to send some coins my way. Best of luck, and welcome to RVA!

UR admissions must've been very impressed by your writing samples. UR is definitely keeping their standards high. UR is definitely not rubber-stamping useless graduate degrees for rich morons with low literacy skills

/u/iWannaCupOfJoe is right. Short answer: Those neighborhoods are "walk around and call the number on the sign" typically where as Scotts has newer housing stock and actual management. Scotts will also have similar options in the neighborhood.

Jesus Christ this sub is insufferable, if someone shows up with a budget too low you tell them there isn’t a chance in hell, and when someone has a workable budget you call them a spoiled rich kid.

I help relocate folks to the area, and I thought that The Gallery Midtown was a decent combination of great location with an affordable monthly rate. Some of their units are a little dated, but I didn't come across anything too egregious. You have excellent walkability throughout the Museum District and Carytown, easy commute up Grove Avenue to campus, and a handful of decent amenities included on-site.

Replying to WhalerBum (#995,658)

Not saying anything about OP, but some people are struggling here. Most apartments require that you make 3-4 (some I think are even shooting for five) times your rent in income. Doing the math here, this person as a student would need an income, or equivalent spending power, of 72-100K a year. So imagine that you're a teacher that makes like 50-k a year and have already been displaced, and you see this.

Fortunately this puts the OP in a pretty high-end range of apartments if they exhaust their budget, so maybe they won't displace someone who is struggling, directly. And who knows, maybe they are going back to school for a second career and are already independently wealthy, but that's kind of not likely the case.
