Something is really truly wrong with Richmond, VA's leadership. To pay 2.4 billion for the whole diamond district and to let a developer to instill this layout in their heads is so "small townish." They should've built a larger seat stadium with all the bells and whistles and a 50 or greater story hotel apartment mixed use. Saved: 1 billion.
I remember the days back in 2003/2004 where you could buy a brand new single family home (2,000+ sqf) for 200k. Specifically, I remember advertisements for Ryan homes starting at $150k. Today those homes are $450k + in just 20 years.
Yep, blame companies and "Flippers" buying properties en masse. Oh and don't forget AirBNB - people buying houses JUST to turn them into AirBNBs. Less properties available, higher costs. If those were changed, you'd see prices go right back to 2016 when rent was $600 a month.
I lived in shockoe bottom from 2015-2017, it was still a pretty hip place with a few grocery stores, pizza, Japanese, chinese restaurants and bars that were within walkingdistance. We drove past our old complex recently and were surprised that even under new management, the rent was the same, 1100-1500. Downtown mainstreet looks a lot cleaner and prettier. The only downside was the parking.
Good to know of these plans looking forward to hear about more plans coming to the area. Are there any plans for the south Chesterfield area that you know of? Would love a video on that.

Hi @truebetold65 It sounds like you have strong opinions on the development plans for the Diamond District. It’s definitely important for cities to make strategic decisions that align with their long-term goals. A larger, more ambitious project could have had a big impact, but sometimes these decisions involve balancing various factors. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Goochland is NOT Richmond. >.< You should know better it's like two different worlds. I would know my family owns the majority of Goochland. Most of us would never consider opening up shop in Richmond including myself.
Pretty sure I ever said Goochland was Richmond. That is clear. It is tough part of the Greater Richmond Area or what many people call RVA. Thanks for your input.
@@livinginrichmondvirginia6306 Are you trying to say you never called Goochland Richmond? I find this response so odd because you then again call Goochland Richmond. >.< Are you just messing with me and really a satire page? Another county isn't part of (The greater) area of a completely different county. Richmond is a city Goochland is Rual two different worlds really. Any area you are calling Richmond must be located in Richmond or it's not Richmond understand?

Yup. Those were the good old days for sure. Houses are very expensive these days.
It's crazy how much the market has changed right!?
Absolutely. In the 20 something years I have been in real estate, it is crazy how much things have changed.

Acadia is in Nova Scotia.
Do you live in the area?
I love the plans for Richmond, Virginia.
Yes. Good stuff is coming.
Not step foot -- set foot!
It sounds like you’re thinking of relocating to the area?
Maybe Richmond and Charlotte could be part of NHL expansion.

It seems that Richmond should try to be part of MLB expansion.
Interesting! Do you think so?
