Glen Allen, Virginia: The Burb for You 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) I relocated here to Glen Allen, Virginia over three years ago and thus far the experience has been good. Glen Allen, is a suburb of Richmond which makes it easy for me to commute to work. My commute to work is short, as I can commute to work within about 20 to 30 minutes.

Livi ...Read More ng in Glen Allen was a pleasant surprise to me right from the beginning. I was overwhelmed when I first moved here by the generosity of the people within the community. Living here has given me the chance to make many new friends and to live a content lifestyle. It seems as if everyone knows everyone in the smaller neighborhoods of Glen Allen and everyone is always ready to provide a helping hand.

The best areas in Glen Allen include the quiet, family friendly neighborhoods, the multiple restaurant options that are offered here and the local mall that has multiple shopping options for you. There is truly something for everyone in my current town. If you want to relocate to a suburb of Richmond, then this might be the burb for you. Read Less
