And a large part of that challenge is looking for a place to live, especially when you have a family. There are so many things to consider when weighing your options. House styles and sizes, neighborhood safety, quality of schools, and the convenience of location are all things to consider. It can be quite overwhelming.

The area is connected by Interstates 95, 64 and 295.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Here\u2019s how the counties in this region are laid out around Richmond. Henrico forms the northern border of Richmond and surrounds the city along the James River\u2019s north banks. Chesterfield is south of the James River along Richmond\u2019s southern border and is the most populated county in the region. Hanover County borders Henrico County to the north. And Hanover is west of Richmond and is the most rural out of all of these counties.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Richmond has a number of suburbs in these counties, and we\u2019ve chosen our top picks we think you\u2019ll love. Living in the city can be fun. But if you\u2019ve got a family or are an empty-nester, sometimes it\u2019s nice to live a bit further out from the excitement of the city, where things move at a slower pace. If you\u2019re <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"moving to Richmond\" href=\"\/va\/richmond\/long-distance-movers\/\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">moving to Richmond<\/a> and crave the suburb life, then this guide is for you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bon_Air\"><\/span>Bon Air<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"Bon Air\" href=\"\/va\/richmond\/bon-air\/movers\/\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Bon Air<\/a> is in Chesterfield County and was first developed in the late 1800s as a resort community for Richmond residents. It was a place to get away from it all. Now, <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"Bon Air\" href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/va\/richmond\/bon-air\/movers\/\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Bon Air<\/a> is a recognized historic district and is a popular area for families looking for their first homes. It\u2019s got a small-town feel, where there are tree-lined streets and walkable neighborhoods. The crime rate is low there because of residents\u2019 commitment to the community.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>What\u2019s Happening in Bon Air<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Because Bon Air is close to Richmond, residents can enjoy the benefits of the city without having to live there. But there are plenty of locally-owned shops and restaurants in Bon Air as well, such as Joe\u2019s Inn at Bon Air, Luther Burger, and The Treasury, a popular antique store.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>Schools in Bon Air<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Bon Air is part of Chesterfield County, which means it\u2019s part of the Chesterfield County Public Schools system, which has a consistently high rating.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>Homes in Bon Air<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There are still many of the Victorian homes from the 19th and early 20th century. Homes in Bon Air tend to sell quickly. One of the reasons is because housing is so affordable, with the average home price just over $200,000.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4778 lazyload\" title=\"The Best Suburbs in Richmond (2022) Bellhop Blog\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"The Best Suburbs in Richmond (2022) Bellhop Blog\" width=\"1880\" height=\"1250\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1880px) 100vw, 1880px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/richmond8.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/richmond8.jpg 1880w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/richmond8-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/richmond8-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/richmond8-1024x681.jpg 1024w\">\r\n<figcaption><em>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/andrewbain\/\">Andrew Bain.<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wyndham\"><\/span>Wyndham<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Wyndham is a master-planned community consisting of 42 neighborhoods in Glen Allen, Virginia, about 20 minutes from Richmond. It was established in 1990 and received the \u201cCommunity Association of the Year\u201d award in 2012. Wyndham was also recognized in 1997 as the \u201cCommunity Association of the Year,\u201d and several times by Richmond Magazine in its \u201cBest Of\u201d issue for Most Kid-Friendly Suburban Community. If you\u2019re not a big fan of master-planned communities, this place might not be for you. But if you like them, Wyndham is one of the best ones in the area.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>What\u2019s Happening in Wyndham<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Wyndham has a private country club, and golf course for residents called The Dominion Club. This community is near many religious facilities, excellent schools, and shopping like West Broad Village, Short Pump Village, and Short Pump Town Center.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>Schools in Wyndham<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Wyndham is part of the Henrico County Public Schools system. Schools in the area are Shady Grove Elementary, Colonial Trail Elementary, Kaechele Elementary, Short Pump Middle and Deep Chase Run High School.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>Homes in Wyndham<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There are 1600 single-family homes, townhomes and condos of varying styles.<\/p><div class=\"getbe-middle\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"getbe-1460822520\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/book\/service\/\" aria-label=\"The Better Way to Move\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"The Better Way to Move\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" width=\"600\" height=\"160\" style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160.png 600w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160-300x80.png 300w\"><\/a><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Midlothian\"><\/span>Midlothian<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>West of Richmond in Chesterfield County is<a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/va\/midlothian\/movers\/\"> Midlothian<\/a>. This suburb with the cool name that sounds like an alien race used to be a coal-mining town known as the Village of <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"Midlothian\" href=\"\/va\/midlothian\/movers\/\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Midlothian<\/a> in the 1700s. Now, it\u2019s one of Richmond\u2019s most popular suburbs. Despite its growth, Midlothian\u2019s residents have managed to maintain its small-town charm. It\u2019s no wonder CNBC, Time Magazine and Money all listed Midlothian as one of the best places to live in the country.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>What\u2019s Happening in Midlothian<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Midlothian has easy access to major highways so commutes to Richmond are convenient. Because the area has experienced a lot of growth, there are plenty of shops, restaurants, locally-owned shops and neighborhood parks residents can enjoy. If you\u2019ve got kids, you can take them to Huguenot Park, which has sports fields, trails to hike, a playground, and tennis and basketball courts. The Brick House Diner is a great place to grab a bite to eat, and Sedona Taphouse is a sports bar that serves a variety of craft beer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>Schools in Midlothian<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Schools in Midlothian consistently rank among the best in the state. Cosby High School, Bettie Weaver Elementary and Tomahawk Creek Middle are among the most popular.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>Homes in Midlothian<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>House prices are rising in Midlothian, with the average price going for around $290,000. But it\u2019s still more affordable than many other communities in the area. But hurry because Midlothian is quickly growing in popularity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4781 lazyload\" title=\"The Best Suburbs in Richmond (2022) Bellhop Blog\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"The Best Suburbs in Richmond (2022) Bellhop Blog\" width=\"1400\" height=\"790\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/richmond7.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/richmond7.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/richmond7-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/richmond7-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/richmond7-1024x578.jpg 1024w\">\r\n<figcaption><em>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/skynoir\/\">Bill Dickinson<\/a>.<\/em><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lakeside\"><\/span>Lakeside<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Located in Henrico Country, Lakeside is a great place for families. A suburb of Richmond located north of the city, Lakeside is named after an actual body of water, though that lake is now found at the Jefferson Lakeside Country Club, so it\u2019s a little misleading. Bordered by Joseph Bryan Park and the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens, this neighborhood has tree-lined streets and offers plenty of chances to commune with nature, even though the city center is only minutes away by car.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>What\u2019s Happening in Lakeside<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We mentioned the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, which is a popular destination in Lakeside. But there\u2019s also places like Roy\u2019s Big Burger, which locals say is one of the best burgers around. There are also antique shops. And Lakeside also has a magic store, though we\u2019re not sure if you can buy any wands there. If you like beer (and really, who doesn\u2019t?) stop by Final Gravity for a refreshing beverage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>Schools in Lakeside<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Lakeside is part of the Henrico County Public School System. Parents can send their kids to area schools like Trevvet Elementary School, Moody Middle School, and Tucker High School.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>Homes in Lakeside<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The single-family homes, many complete with big lawns and garages, are surprisingly affordable. The average home in Lakeside is $173,100, and the average rent is $1,014.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ginter_Park\"><\/span>Ginter Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Ginter Park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places because it was Richmond\u2019s first streetcar suburb. Located in North Richmond, this community feels like a separate town from the rest of the city. Filled with older homes and large, old trees, it\u2019s a great compromise for people who love the quietness of the suburbs but want easy access to downtown. Ginter Park is also close to I-64, I-95, and Powhite Parkway. The Ginter Park Residents Association is actively working in the best interests of the community and always looking for new members.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>What\u2019s Happening in Ginter Park<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Ginter Park is less than three miles from Richmond\u2019s Fan District, where you can find the Byrd Theatre, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and The New York Deli, Richmond\u2019s oldest restaurant. There\u2019s also excellent dining and shopping in Carytown, just five miles away. And the Museum District is four miles away, which we don\u2019t feel the need to explain. There\u2019s also Bryan Park, where you can hike trails, go birding (you enjoy birding, right?), and play disc golf. It also has a lake.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>Schools in Ginter Park<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Community High School and Linwood Holton Elementary School are among some of the schools\u2019 residents send their children to in the area.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>Homes in Ginter Park<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Many of the historic homes that were built in the late 1800s and early 1900s are still in Ginter Park and have been restored to their full glory. The average home price is around $278,000.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Neighborhoods are about location and lifestyle, to be sure. But they are also about the people who live in them. These neighborhoods offer a variety of lifestyles to meet most anyone\u2019s needs. We hope this guide helps you make the right choice to fit your lifestyle.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"There_you_have_it_The_Best_Suburbs_in_Richmond\"><\/span>There you have it: The Best Suburbs in Richmond!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We hope our guide to the best suburbs in Richmond was helpful.
