Yeah I already live pretty close to that area, between Fairfield and Fairmont but here's hoping I can find a decent place 🤞

23% ($1,055 to $1,300 for a 1b with no dishwasher or in-unit washer/dryer)

I was a sophomore living in a high rise apartment building that overlooked that corner at the time. I remember watching the fire out my balcony and on the news at the same time, it was surreal.

Caught red handed

0% so thankful for my private landlord right now

Serious answer is near the section 8 housing (the “courts”) in the East End. Some of the areas around Mosby Court are decently close to the VCU hospital and still have options <300k.

Let me know when you find out.

Was paying 1200 for 1br1b. Going up roughly $200 for a one year lease renewal.

Not rent but my property tax went up 23% on my house this year.. in Hanover.. the land of don’t tread on me and any excuse to charge a tax and piss the money away

My lease stipulates 5% per year. Started at $1225 in 2020 I made a deal with them for $1375 for this year. Renewal comes up in September but imma try to buy.

Speaking of which, where can I get a 2/2 house with a fenced yard and a garage for under $300k without moving to the county?😭

In the news they keep saying rent prices have begun "creeping down" but, anecdotally, everyone I know who is renting is continuing to experience increases.

i think ive resolved i need to move out of the area to get to a place professionally where i can come back and buy a house later. its so fucked up and upsetting.

Shockoe Commons tried to raise ours by 30% last year. Idk what company owns the complex

I bought a house out of spite last October cause my rent went from $1500 to $2000 for a 2 bedroom in shockoe bottom.

Does anyone remember the Evacuation Fire in 1865?

6.6%, two bedroom/one bath in the fan from a private landlord who is also a realtor. Glad it wasn't more. We have central air, a w/d, and a small fenced yard.

I was in class with Dr. Z. (Psyc major). I remember her stopping class, escorting us all outside, we walked across campus and watched it burn. Crazy times

I had a friend that lived in an alley apartment behind the VCU presidents residence. I remember being in the same area visiting and feeling the heat blast blocks away too.

The heat also melted the top of the facade of the arts building across the street. the damage might still be visible (havent looked in a while, but the damage was visible for years after the fire)

It was the “RAMZ” building or something, I think. One of the first 5-over-1 buildings I recall being built in downtown / VCU Richmond area. Apparently it went so well (burned to the ground) they were like— “great idea, let’s build a bunch more!”

95 was shut down. The wind blew the smoke and embers towards 95 across Carver

I remember driving down Route 1 heading toward Virginia Center and seeing the smoke plain as day all the way up there

that's vagovtofficial on instagrams work (richmond meme page), they used to sell it but the link doesnt seem to be up anymore

3.8%, also Legend Property Group.
