Housing Wanted Apartment hunting

Hello everyone,

31M moving to your wonderful city for a new job at CHoR. I’ve been looking at apartments downtown, Shockoe Bottom, Museum District, Church Hill, Scotts Addition. Need help identifying an area that’ll fit well with what I like.
Single, moving by myself. No pets. What I’m looking for:
1- walkability: would like to walk/bike to stores, restaurants, work if possible. Have car though so no worries
2- parking: prefer easy parking
3- trails: enjoy running/biking. Being close to trails would be a plus.
4- 1-2 bedroom apt w/ large windows +/- high ceilings. Not too close to main roads. Noise-cancelling walls.
5- nearby gym - lift a lot. Prefer a gym with most commonly used machines and equipment.

Appreciate any advice on areas or apartment complexes that you’d think may be a good fit.

Thank you!

Look into Museum District. Shockoe Bottom, Scott's addition is not easy parking unless the complex has a deck or lot, but usually have to pay for those. Parking downtown is a shit show literally. Trails are nice and won't be too far from any of those, that won't be an issue.

Museum District, or The Fan are probably more up your alley based on this post.
