Richmond was named the 10th best city in the country for vegetarians.

The honor was bestowed by apartmentguide.com.

Why? Because in addition to our stellar veggie and vegan-friendly options (Richmond has 3 organic, 50 vegetarian and 24 vegan options per a nearly 3,000 residents), we have a very affordable rental market, according to the piece.

The average one bedroom in Richmond is a thrifty $1,085 - compared to the national average of $1,142. For a one bedroom. Apartment. In Richmond. And that, my friends, is one of the reasons I feel very lucky to own a home.
