Why Live in Chester

Chester is a modern suburb located 15 miles south of downtown Richmond, bordered by Route 1 and Route 288. These routes are lined with commercial strips, offering residents a variety of dining, shopping, and entertainment options. The neighborhood has seen increased desirability due to new retail developments in the heart of Chester. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the James River, Dutch Gap Conservation Area, and Henricus Historical Park. Housing in Chester features diverse architectural styles on lots ranging from a quarter-acre to an acre, with mature trees and grassy spaces providing privacy. Home styles include ranch properties, split-levels, Cape Cods, and modern traditional designs. Chesterfield County Public Schools serve the area, with schools like C.E. Curtis Elementary, Elizabeth Davis Middle, and Thomas Dale High receiving good ratings. Goyne Park offers nearly 50 acres of walking trails, athletic fields, tennis courts, and a disc golf course, while Chester Dog Park provides separate play areas for large and small dogs.
