As the capital of Virginia and one of America’s most historic cities, Richmond has been called the “perfect blend of old and new.” Today, Richmond is a thriving cosmopolitan center, offering the Richmond corporate apartment market a wealth of cultural, business, entertainment and educational possibilities. Our renters can set out on a leisurely cruise along the scenic James River. And history buffs can attend a re-enactment of Patrick Henry's ‘Give me liberty or give me death’ speech at St. John’s Church or venture back to the Civil War at Richmond National Battlefield Park, which draws in 200,000+ people annually. Other popular sites include Hollywood Cemetery, Monument Avenue and the Museum of the Confederacy.
Living a Richmond corporate apartment market means a renter has access to nine Fortune 500 companies with corporate headquarters in the city, including Circuit City, Philip Morris, and Dominion Resources, among others. Only five metro areas in the country have more Fortune 500 headquarters than the Richmond area. Richmond corporate apartment renters also have access to thirteen Fortune 1000 companies in the city. Richmond is also home to smaller companies which contribute to its small town, friendly, southern atmosphere, such as Ukrop’s Super Market, a regional, family-owned chain of supermarkets.
Living in a Richmond corporate apartment also means you will have access to one of the oldest municipal park systems in the country. Monroe Park was founded in 1851, and is one of 40 parks comprising a total of more than 1,500 acres. It is located adjacent to the Virginia Commonwealth University campus.
