The Honest Part
What Moseley & SW Chesterfield trades away
30+ minute commute to downtown. Very car-dependent. New developments mean construction noise and growing pains. Limited restaurant scene -- mostly chains. Infrastructure is still catching up to growth.
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.
