Considerations when choosing a Richmond moving company

Moving to Richmond doesn't have to be a stressful experience. Before starting your search, make sure you've gone through the following:

  1. Must-haves, and what you'll be willing to compromise on. You may need to give up certain amenities to live in your favorite neighborhood, or otherwise look for a smaller layout or a different apartment type.

  2. Your search horizon. The ideal time to start searching is between 1-2 months before your planned move-in date. However, don't be stressed if you only have a couple weeks to go; a surpising amount of rental inventory is usually available for immediate move-in.

  3. Your favorite neighborhoods. We've put together a curated list below of some of the more popular areas to get you started on where to live - whether you're moving by yourself or with a family, looking for a residential area or one in the middle of the action.

  4. Documents you'll need when applying for an apartment. These will vary depending on the landlord, but most require verification of employment and income, your credit report, and references from previous landlords.

  5. Whether you'd like to live alone or with roommates. Roommates can mean considerable cost savings upwards of 50%-60% depending on the amount of people

Tips for moving to or within Richmond

Facts about Richmond

Brimming with American history and architecture, Richmond is the capital city of Virginia and located on the banks of the James River. Included in many ‘best of’ lists, such as healthiest city, great for families, most street art, best U.S Historical destination and most fun and affordable to name a few, Richmond has lots to offer. Southern hospitality, confederate flags, and even debutante balls still exist in these parts. Like any Southerner, they love their sweet tea and turning down a cup is practically a federal offense. Visit Monument Avenue to see many of Richmond’s biggest historic figures cast in stone and get a glimpse of spectacular 19th and early 20th-century architecture. The Richmond International Raceway is thought to be one of the best places to watch Nascar and Rat basketball played on a miniature court for visitors, is actually a spectator sport at the Science Museum of Virginia. You have to see it, to believe it. Richmond basically has its own water park right in town with the James River System. This scenic 550 acres of shoreline and islands offers so much to do, including class IV rapids for an eighth of a mile. Enjoy paddling, hiking, birdwatching, and fishing or take one of the romantic canal cruises.

 

Moving to Richmond

Climate

Virginia's weather has been described as a ‘Goldilocks Climate,’ not too hot; not too cold. The mountains to the west act as a partial barrier to outbreaks of cold, continental air in winter, however, the summers can be quite humid due to the surrounding water.

 

Arts and Culture

Richmond offers a variety of arts and cultural activities, including a full array of theater, opera, symphony, comedians, concerts, and festivals. Local events like the Richmond Folk Festival and First Fridays Art Walk ensure residents stay connected to the Arts scene. The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (200 N Boulevard) and the Science Museum of Virginia (2500 W Broad St) are definitely worth the visit.
