Hi!
My husband (30) and I (29) are moving to Richmond and are looking for a place for two years where we can either walk to restaurants/things to do (like Carytown, The Fan, Museum District, etc etc) or within a 10 minute drive. Doesn’t necessarily HAVE to be that area, but close to stuff to do.
We have very few requirements, but they are: • walkable, or close to things that require only a short drive • fenced in yard (can be small, but need a yard) • dog friendly
Would love to have a garage, so we can easily charge, but not a requirement. Like to stay under 2.4k, but flexible, if needed.
Would love recommendations for property management companies or any other recs you can provide! 💗
Hi everyone! I'm moving from Florida to Richmond for work, and I’m looking for housing within a 20-minute drive of Chester. Here are the details:
Budget: $1,000/month
Move-in Date: December 1st week itself
About Me:
24-year-old cis male
Clean, organized, and social but respectful of others’ space
Will mostly be gone during working hours and rarely have guests/friends over
About My Dog:
I have a large, sweet dog who will live with me
She hasn’t lived with other pets before, and while she’s reactive to small animals, she can warm up to other dogs with a gentle introduction.
I’m open to any housing type—house, loft, apartment, or townhouse. Sex/gender of potential roommates doesn’t matter as long as you’re a considerate, reasonable, and moderately clean person.
If you have a place or know of anything available, feel free to message me, and we can chat more. Thanks so much for your help!

Hi! I'll be moving out of my apartment at CityView Lofts in mid-January and am looking for someone to sublet to. The monthly rent is $1350 plus utilities (water and energy). You will be responsible for the full rent and all utilities. My current lease runs through August 7, 2025. CityView is a beautiful, safe community, and just a five minute walk from the Floodwall. The apartment complex has a full pool as well as the nicest apartment gym I've ever seen, which is right across the hallway from the unit. Don't worry -- the insulation is great, so when you're inside you can't hear a thing! The unit has TONS of storage space as well as a full washer/dryer, dishwasher, and new kitchen appliances -- and a super cool skylight! Pets are allowed and I can't say enough good things about the unit, the building, and the leasing company. If you're interested, please reach out!!

I'm looking to transfer my lease beginning around 12/18ish (can be January 1, I'll pay December rent regardless). Lease runs through 7/10/25. I have a 2 bedroom townhome in Williamsburg Park Apartments. Rent is currently $1357 / mo (includes 2 animals). Gas/water/trash/electric is ~$100/mo on average.
To transfer, you would need to fill out an application on the website, let me know so I can let them know, and then agree to accept the property as is. Happy to give a walkthrough.
Nice neighborhood with lots of kids in Henrico. Pretty quiet neighbors. Downsides are you can hear loud cars on Broad, and there is no washer/dryer in unit (washer/dryer facilities are scattered throughout the complex).
Southern Chesterfield. My sister and I are looking for a roommate (F) for our 74 year old stepmom. She currently has 24/7 caregivers but sleeps overnight and typically wakes once for the bathroom. She can be easily disoriented so having someone there overnight to help her to the bathroom and back to bed. She walks and tends to that solo but needs instructions at times. Caregivers would be there during the day to care for her. Furnished house and 3 car garage with access to her car or stipend for the right person. Concept is free rent and utilities for being there about 5 nights a week overnight. Any time away we would have a caregiver stay there overnight. Talk soon.
I wanted to hear if anyone has any critical issues. I’m considering moving in there soon.
Need atleast a 2 bed, 1 bath. Need an idea of what rent would cost and all that good stuff. Newly single mom trying to find a home on a limited budget.
Quiet, mature adult, wfh, Looking for a 2bdrm. Prefer to rent from private landlord out small company managed as most corporate management companies have requirements I’m not interested in. Credit in the high 600’s. No evictions. Any recommendations appreciated. 🥰😊 #rental #privatelandlord #for rent
3 bed 2 bath, excellent location, private and well kept. Owner / landlord. Flexible options.
We are looking for someone to takeover our lease in Georgetown Apartments. We've been in this apartment 3 years and are only leaving because a great apartment opened up with a little more space. This is a great location - just outside of the Museum District and walkable to Carytown, Scott's Addition, and the Fan. Easy access to the highway and bus routes with plenty of off-street parking, both reserved and open. The maintenance is fantastic and usually responds same day.
Apartment includes dishwasher, gas stove, large closets, and a private patio. No in unit washer/dryer, but there are facilities in the building - $2/wash & $1.85/dry.
Dog and cat friendly with a pet deposit (used to be $200) and pet rent (used to be $10/month), though I'm not sure if those rates have changed.
Electric heat and air, gas cooking and water heater. Total utilities are around $100 - $150 month (gas, electric, water).
You'd be taking over our lease which ends April 30, 2025. You would need to complete a rental application ($50 per person) with Georgetown and be approved before the lease can be transferred. The security deposit is $250 (paid to me) and they require you to have renters insurance with at least $300,000 in liability. The apartment will not be professionally cleaned or re-painted before you move in.
Here is a link to the Craigslist posting with photos from Georgetown's website (our model matches them).

I have a bedroom for rent in a house in the Bellevue area of Northside.
Corner house so no issue with parking and it is also within walking distance to the shops on Bellevue and MacArthur and relatively close to Bryan Park. It is a three bedroom two bath house with two people currently living here. The bathroom LR/DR and kitchen are shared.
I do have two dogs so it is a pet friendly environment with a fenced in backyard and deck with a bonus Raised Bed vegetable garden.
It is a THC friendly and progressive household, no drugs, minimal alcohol.
I am looking for someone a bit older, maybe in their 40's, who is respectful of others, responsible for themselves and preferably not WFH.
I am asking $700.00 per month and of third of the utilities with a $700.00 Deposit.
Basically what the title says. I'm a 36 year old cis gender male. I'm liberal, lgbtq+ friendly, a feminist, 420 friendly, although I don't partake often, non smoker, a board game/video game/book nerd, I enjoy the outdoors, I work a lot (currently), and I rarely have people over, usually one of my siblings if anyone. I don't host parties, I'm pretty handy with tools, I don't bring drama or baggage, no hostile exes or anything. I enjoy music, but only through earbuds or at shows. I do game with my brother online in the evenings sometimes, so if the walls are thin you may hear me conversing with him.
I'm pretty clean, and I try very hard to always be conscientious and considerate. I prefer to maintain an open line of communication, no passive aggressive bullshit. If there is an issue, let's talk about it so it can be addressed instead of letting resentment build.
My requirements for a place to live besides being within my budget are, no roaches, bedbug, or other problematic infestations, (I'm chill with spiders and house centipedes as long as it isn't an insane number of them), a functional dishwasher, functional in unit laundry, and the option for high speed Internet access. I would love a garage as well, but I'm trying to keep it realistic.
Move in date is flexible, optimally would have a month notice before move in, but like I said, it's flexible.
Thanks for taking the time to read this! Feel free to hit me up via DM or Chat if you are interested.

hello! me and another girl are trying to find a third roommate. things to know about us/an ideal person has these qualities: -around our age. i am almost 24 and she is 28 so we would prefer somebody around that age range though it’s not a requirement, and is also another woman. -we are looking around in lakeside and have even toured places we both like. we are not necessarily opposed to being outside of lakeside but it’s the best place that’s inbetween our jobs (she works in vcc, i work near three chopt/forest.) -are at least somewhat neat. don’t need to constantly keep clean by any means but needs to be able to keep tidy consistently -ideally not smoking. not opposed to weed but would need to be smoked outside (most places we’ve toured have patios/balconies) -we both have boyfriends but they would only be around once or twice a week, definitely not a permanent fixture of the home. id probably be at my own bfs place once or twice throughout the week too. -we are not doing pets of any type -down to hangout at night! obviously would not reject anybody for wanting to keep to themselves but if we all wanna watch a movie/show together and vibe together we’d be down!! -i work 7:45 to 4:45 m-f consistently whereas she works in retail so her hours aren’t as consistent. doesn’t matter either way what you’d work! would definitely prefer a somebody with a consistent full time job. -we’ve both expressed an interest in cooking dinners together occasionally so would also be down for another person to join that! -the other girl already lives on her own so she will be bringing a lot of common area furniture and kitchen stuff
having a third person would massively help with rent costs, and we are ideally looking to pay 600ish each in rent with a year long lease. there are a few places we’ve found that match this. malika’s current lease ends december 12th so we are looking to move out in early december so we still have some time to find a place!!
