I'd recommend students live closer to the Fan/downtown. We already spend a lot of time on campus, so it's nice to be able to walk places or have restaurants/bars only a short car ride away. The commute to school is only 12 minutes!

The Fan is a historic neighborhood in Richmond. 603 N Davis Ave is in the heart of The Fan. There are many restaurants and museums within a 20 minute walk of the apartment. Additionally, the DMV is only a 5 minute walk away, which is very convenient when you're first getting moved in. There is no (convenient) public transportation close by, although public transport isn't very prevalent in Richmond to begin with.

Perfect area with restaurants and shops in walking distance. The art museum is also in walking distance and you can walk to Byrd park. At night the area isn’t super loud, but there are bars within walking distance. Easy access to 195 as well. The neighborhood is also very safe, although there have been more homeless people in the area over the last six months.

Everyone is friendly and it is fun to walk around. I am not totally dependent on my car now, and the homes are beautiful to walk by. A lot of things are close by so you're never far off. Travel time to work is lengthy but enjoyable. More of a feel for a real home rather than a college apartment

Pros:
-Lots of bars and restaurants very close
-In my area (farther from VCU), street parking is plentiful

Cons:
-Traffic out to the office can be difficult at times (for Richmond)

It's a little overhyped from what people tell you to try and sell you on Richmond, but if you do have to live in Richmond, then you might as well live here.
