My wife is graduating from med school in a month, and we found out a month ago that she'll be doing her residency at VCU - which we're both stoked about - it was actually our first choice. It worked out for us, but if anybody wants to talk about how absurd the match process is, I'm your grey-haired guy.
We'll also be buying our first home - god dammit/willing - and have been up that way looking at places since then. We started out wanting space and a little privacy, then briefly got excited about the Fan, West End, Bellevue, and Carillon. Unfortunately, we've basically exhausted all of the available properties in our price range still and haven't found what we're looking for. I'm sure the garage requirement doesn't help.
The more we look and think about it, we want a house that works and as much as we want to be north of the river, the south presents more options. There just isn't much of an inventory, and we've seen pretty much all of it. Our radius and budget are both going up a bit, and we're looking at what we need to compromise on.
Anybody else in the area? I think I saw Justin is. Any sage advice?
Also, Richmond deserves some shit for the road conditions. It's nice to have an excuse for a comfy second car, but...just awful. But I am psyched about the better autox venues - haven't been to RIR but VMP is pretty dope.
