About Richmond
An economically progressive city and Virginia’s capital,
Richmond offers a wealth of amenities not easily found among other
East Coast municipalities.
Richmond’s complete livability can be measured in numerous ways:
beautiful neighborhoods with striking architecture; a vast cultural
and educational heritage befitting its more than 200,000 citizens; and
noted historic prestige tracing back to the early English settlers.
Nationally recognized for its vitality and New Economy embrace, Richmond’s
diversified employment base extends from chemical, food and tobacco
manufacturing to biotechnology, semiconductors and high-tech fibers.
The city consistently ranks among “Best Places to Live and Work in
America” in several national publications.
Richmond is among a handful of mid-sized cities to offer a flourishing
cultural community enhanced by several first-class museums and prominent
universities, its own symphony, professional ballet and opera, and numerous
theater companies and art galleries.
While offering easy access to the ocean, mountains and Washington, D.C.,
Richmond features countless pastimes at home. Trendy boutiques and
restaurants, numerous sports and entertainment attractions, outdoor pursuits
among one of the nation’s largest river park systems, and a treasure trove
of historic landmarks provide fun times galore.
For the five million who visit each year, Richmond is increasingly
recognized for many distinguished yet unheralded qualities long
enjoyed by those who already live here.
