Richmond Apartments for Rent

As the capital of one of the most historic states in the nation, Richmond, Virginia has long been a city where history, law, and government have reigned. But don’t think this dynamic city lives in the past – with numerous parks, large shopping centers, and venues for live entertainment, Richmond is anything but dull.

Richmond’s economy is largely defined by law and finance with several large law firms and international companies like Genworth Financial, CapitalOne, and Philip Morris USA calling the city home. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, one of 13 United States courts of appeals, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond also can be found in Richmond.

The Virginia Historical Society, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Science Museum of Virginia, and the Children’s Museum of Virginia are all a part of Richmond’s “Museum District.” Historic sites prevail throughout the city, and Richmond is home to the Virginia State Capitol, which was designed by Thomas Jefferson and Charles-Louis Clerisseau in 1785. Richmond was a site of many important events during the Revolutionary War, including Patrick Henry’s “Give me liberty or give me death” speech at St. John’s Church in 1775.

Affluent universities in Richmond include Virginia Commonwealth University, the University of Richmond, and Virginia Union University. With beautiful architecture and numerous theaters and galleries for entertainment, Richmond apartments offer new residents just the right mix of business and pleasure.
