Your first example I found was this 112 Atkinson St, Rochester, NY 14608 , it is an in fill house on the corner of Ford St in the SW part of the city, great schools I'm sure. Another example was along the interstate out in Greece
Most of your mention is of Corn Hill which as you said is very nice with parks, old houses and tree lined streets but unfortunately no legitimate shopping and the schools require a private option if you have kids.
You always speak so highly of 1st ring suburbs as you refer to them but very often they are transitioning and not necessarily in a good way. What do you consider "vibrant" because that is another word you often use. I look at the map and see no supermarket, usable schools and a tax burden of $28.85/$1000. On a home worth more than your example that is a major ouch, even your example has a $2800 burden.
I wouldn't live there with kids either. I wouldn't live in ANY city with kids unless they were going to private school.
Yes I do. Laugh all you want but it gives a good insight into what you can buy and how much you can buy in many cities and towns.
So you can stop patronizing me now any time you'd like.
You must be younger and single and still living on pizza and 6-packs. Local market, real cute can't feed a family on what they carry/charge where is a Wegman's or some variation of a supermarket? restaurant's, wine stores and bars again not what a family needs. We also have areas of the same aesthetic and once the schools are an issue the urban pioneers head to the burbs if they can't afford private options.
Don't believe all you see on house hunters, I know one of the Richmond area episodes was staged several months after the family had all ready moved in.
One poster on the Richmond board said "Okay, I think I have made enough observation in order to classify the culture of the Richmond metro area, after spending 2 days here. As a native New Englander, it is my opinion that the Richmond metro area is southern" One example was I've also heard the word "y'all" used a few times, which is a dead giveaway."
Richmond is in the South and always has been. Northern VA is the part of Virginia that is different than its historic character, but the rest of the state is still "Southern".

I'm in my 30's, have a fiance and a really good job in a high paying career. So no, I'm not all that young, nor living on pizza. What I'm showing you is urban living. That's what it is like to live in cities. EVERY city is like that. So when I refer to "vibrancy", I'm referring to urban vibrancy. My other example was in a suburb though.

Are you done mocking me yet?
In your 30's and unmarried (so far) was good enough not concerned about your career. Urban vibrancy from how you describe it means neat & kitschy to live in and I can walk to the bistro/bar to meet my buddies when I want. surprisingly you seem to be living in what some would call suburban hell, more the choice of families with kids a single guy. I am over 50 with grown kids I look at "vibrant" as having the conveniences that make a neighborhood such as food stores, drug stores, cleaners etc. and neighbors that take care of their homes.
You are welcome to spin any place your like, it reads as if you work for the cities advertising department (maybe you do) but people aren't buying it. Older urban cores have a lot of issues much of which makes them laughable choice for families. First ring suburbs can also potentially be on a downswing depending on living patterns of a city. Mocking you no, challenging you...yes
Hmm, I've always though of VA as more "mid-Atlantic" and not the south. I know there isn't really a definitive separation between what's south and what's north, but I'll still continue to think of it as north.
Also, lol again @ using House Hunters as any kind of reference other than providing a slight idea of home prices in a given area. I'm going to go watch Bathroom Crashers to get an idea of how much it's going to cost to renovating my bathroom

Well, actually, the Mason-Dixon Line was traditionally thought of as the N-S dividing line.
Yeah maybe for political purposes. If you go by the MD Line, then that means Baltimore is the south, and I think we can all agree that isn't even close to accurate lol.
