1 Reviews & Comments About Short Pump
There are lots of places to shop here and the rent for apartments in nearby Richmond is pretty low. Criminal statistics are really low here everyone is very nice.
What stood out to me was the Short Pump Town Center. I love the Create & Barrel there. However, the Rock Bottom restaurant was not the best Rock Bottom I had experienced.
