I found the Museum District to be incredibly easy without a car. You might need a car for work, but I guarantee you can do everything else without one. I lived near the VMFA. I would walk to Publix, Kroger, and ALDI for groceries (invest in nice reusable bags for carrying groceries). I would use the CVS on Broad for prescriptions (Quicker walk than Carytown). I would use the post office near Carytown. The only time I used the bus was to get downtown for events. Anything outside of groceries that I needed I would just order online. If I needed a lot of groceries I would just order delivery. Still cheaper than all of the expenses that come with a car.

I’ve never owned a car in Richmond and would say it’s very doable. I think the Museum District is the best neighborhood to live in without a car. You have everything you need within walking distance and multiple grocery store options.

I currently live in Church Hill and find it more difficult than the Museum District, but still doable. Getting groceries is harder because I have to ride a bike or take the bus.

I would continue to live without a car in any of these neighborhoods: Scott’s Addition, The Fan, Jackson Ward, Downtown, or Shockoe Bottom.

Amen! It depends on the driver, but they rarely go the speed limit. I use both 12 and 13 and they fly down the road treating pedestrians as a nuisance.
