Don't do it. It's not worth moving here. Not at all.
However, if you insist on moving to Richmond because you're stupid, you can live in the "city" (I don't even consider it a real city, it's that puny) and get a smaller place, or you can move out to the West End (near Short Pump, etc.) which is getting built up like crazy. Rent is fairly cheap out here and you get a lot of space for your money, but expect a good 20 minute drive or so if you wanna go into the "city" area. You could always move halfway between the city and the West End to get the best of both worlds. Patterson Avenue runs from one end to the other and there's some good apartment complexes on there (or near there).
I strongly urge you NOT to move to Richmond though. Can't stress that enough.
