The Honest Part
What Glen Allen & North Henrico trades away
Low walkability -- car-dependent for everything. Suburban sameness in some developments. Further from city restaurants and nightlife. Can feel disconnected from Richmond's urban culture.
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.
