Finding an apartment to rent in Richmond isn't easy.
The big picture: Renters make up make up 57% of all Richmond households. Rent increases are outpacing income gains, and an estimated 28 new people are moving here every day.
Yes, but: Whether you're moving here for the first time, switching neighborhoods or back on the hunt due to rent increases, here are 11 places to look.
Facebook groups
Facebook will be your No. 1 best friend here, with multiple groups set up to make the search easier.
Lindsey's List is one of the original ones with nearly 68,000 members.
Pro tip: Use the search bar to look up location, price range and number of bedrooms then click "most recent" to see the latest posts.
And don't be afraid to vet a listing you've seen by asking the groups if it's a solid option — members will be honest — or sharing what you're looking for in a post.
Stalking property sites
These will sometimes have higher prices than seen in the FB groups, and it's not an exhaustive list, but can give you more options to check out.
Fan Apartments will regularly update their listings for places in the Fan and Museum District.
