About Mechanicsville, VA
What we would tell a friend about Mechanicsville
We routinely say this about Mechanicsville – always the bridesmaid and never the bride. That is because Mechanicsville rarely ranks first in any one category compared to the other suburbs around Richmond, but due to that fact you can get a pretty good deal on a great home in this area. So don’t rule it out because it is possible that Mechanicsville could provide the perfect blend of compromise for you.
The fact that Mechanicsville isn’t as commercially dense is the biggest con to the area. You may need to visit more than one of these commercial bubbles to complete a day of running errands.
