First apartment in Richmond – Manchester vs. Scott’s Addition vs. Gateway? Looking for recommendations.

Hi everyone! I’m moving out on my own for the first time and work at VCU/MCV. I’m hoping to move in around **August** and have been touring apartments for weeks, but I’m starting to get decision fatigue. My budget is ideally around **$1,400–1,550 base rent**, or roughly **$1,650–1,700 all-in** if utilities are included. So far I’ve looked at: Marcella at Gateway Scott’s View The Riviera on Semmes The Commodore Eddy on the James The Overlook at City View Belmont on Broad Thing

No Questions Asked

I don’t care what your reasons were, but if you entered the Riviera on Semmes this afternoon and STOLE my prescription medication (jokes on you, it’s blood pressure medication) PLEASE RETURN IT or I will be contacting the property manager on Monday to review the camera footage and will call the police. I need that medication. NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

All inclusive apartments?

Idk if I’m too late but The Riviera on Semmes is all inclusive. Pretty decent. Can be a bit of road noise though. Maintenance is pretty quick to respond too.
