Richmond centers on state government, a large healthcare sector (including VCU Health), finance and universities. It typically offers more house for the money than Northern Virginia, which makes it popular with buyers relocating within the state and professionals who can work hybrid or remote.

Most suburban buyers look west and north of the city — Short Pump and Glen Allen in Henrico, Midlothian in Chesterfield — where much of the new construction and newer schools are. The historic city neighborhoods (the Fan, Scott’s Addition) draw buyers who want walkability over a big lot.
