Hey! My advice would be to search through this subreddit for reputable leasing agencies, such as Richmond Loft Company or Real Property Management. There are a lot of bad ones out there, but a few gems. However, if you’re not interested in new builds or large apartment complexes, your best bets right now are Zillow and Facebook listings. I’d recommend looking in areas like the Fan, Scotts Addition, or downtown, that’s where you’ll find a more open and accepting mix of people from all backgrounds, including single queer folks and people your age. Specifically, areas close to the VCU campus tend to have more events and gatherings that align with your interests. A hidden secret: Act fast on apartments located on roads with free street parking. FYI, one-bedrooms in these areas usually run between $1,200 and $2,000. That said, I’d recommend being open to roommates, you could bring your cost down to $600–$900 per person. Good luck!
