Manchester apartments that don’t suck?

I can recommend The Hydro and Model Tobacco.

Although possums usually take the spotlight here, how about a little love for our otters?

used to see a couple of them over in manchester when i’d go fishing by the hydro building, super cool!

Has anyone lived in the Hydro apartments?

I live right next to Top Golf. My apartment is new but probably pretty expensive compared to Hydro/Manchester. Look at the Alder on Dabney. You'd be able to walk to Top Golf it's so close.

Has anyone lived in the Hydro apartments?

Hello, I’m in the process of moving from Texas to Richmond and was trying to find places that are affordable and safe to live in. I am asking about hydro apartments but I’ll take any suggestions.
