In March we’ve had the pleasure to host a bus tour of Richmond for CoStar Group employees who are looking to relocate from San Diego to Richmond. We explored the wide array of unique neighborhoods, taking into account a variety of price points, different commute times and school options. It’s incredible what Richmond has to offer. We’re excited to welcome our new west coast friends to our beautiful river city!
