The Honest Part
What Church Hill & East End trades away
Revitalization is real but uneven -- do your homework block by block. City tax rate applies. Some areas have limited retail within walking distance. Infrastructure still catching up to demand.
Most zone pages skip this part. Every place in Greater Richmond gives something up, and knowing which thing before you tour is worth more than another photo gallery.
