A grand city exploding with restoration, renewal, and renaissance, Richmond can be defined not only as a popular tourist destination whose rich history is second to none, but as a financial center; a medical community with some of the country's most respected doctors; a corporate city where many companies have their national or regional headquarters; a town of nationally recognized lawyers; an appealing place to retire because of the moderate, four-season climate; and, with all the city has to offer in the way of theater, museums, indoor and outdoor concerts and festivals, parks, sport activities, and education, an ideal place to raise a family.
As the population of the Richmond metropolitan area approaches one million, there remains a sense of community in the many new as well as old-fashioned neighborhoods, from the City's Fan District which offers beautiful old homes and apartments, restaurants, outdoor cafes, shops, galleries, museums, parks, and markets to award-winning developments in the equally impressive neighboring counties.
