Public-Housing-Adjacent Pockets

The lowest entry prices and highest paper yields in the city, in pockets near public housing on both sides of the James River.

These are Richmond's highest-crime areas, and the cheap prices reflect real, persistent problems rather than hidden opportunity. The strong paper yields rarely survive the actual vacancy, turnover, and maintenance picture, even with capable management.

Investors who understand that the highest advertised yields often come with the highest execution risk.
