RICHMOND METRO

As a central hub in Virginia and strategically placed on the James River, the Richmond Metro area has been a key location since creation. Richmond has traditionally been recognized as a professional city for its economic importance in the law, finance and government industries. However, due to a growing population, the past two decades have seen a boost in more diverse economic areas.

The upward population trend has fuelled entry-level and hospitality work, while also encouraging roaming entertainment events such as sports and music to be hosted in the area.

As Richmond is home to one of the thirteen US courts of appeal, many lawyers and legal professionals seek apartment living in the area. Banking also has a prominence in the job market due to the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond being located here, with notable firms such as large divisions of Wells Fargo and Capital One making Richmond their hub.

A pleasant climate makes outdoor events common and allows residents to make the most of long walks among the vast covering of trees and parks, though snow isn't unheard of in the winters.

As a professional-oriented city, the Richmond Metro area is well-equipped to suit classic tastes yet also has a growing youthful feel. A mix of the two makes an apartment living location which can make anyone feel at home and comfortable within their profession.
