Properties in up and coming neighborhoods like Manchester and Eastern Henrico have become popular first-time homebuyer destinations for young Richmonders. You’ll find many neighborhoods where the newly grown-up generation of this city, — those who used to be bartenders and waiters, hairdressers and folks-about-town— are now buying. They’re the small business owners of Richmond. The ones who have opened their own small restaurant, featuring the best homemade sausages. Or a top of the line salon for men, because women shouldn’t have to be the only ones who enjoy looking nice.
They’ve opened up these businesses not far from where they live because they want to build up the neighborhoods they’ve already invested in. Knowing that good service is worth the trip, and there’s nothing like seeking out new places in an old city.
