Well, not literally in my backyard, but only a ten minutes walk from home. My first choice, when I moved to Richmond over nine years ago, was a property in a gentrifying neighborhood. I loved the house...a 19teen foursquare. I really could see myself there. But the deal fell through and over time I ended up finding this neighborhood. What a lovely twist of fate, because I know now this has been a much better environment for me...quiet and walkable distance to nature. Plus, my neighbors are fab! Not that there wouldn't have been good neighbors in the other place, but I really feel kinship with the folks here.
