Chesterfield Courthouse Homes for Rent

Chesterfield Courthouse, located about 20 miles south of Richmond, is a neighborhood that combines rural charm with convenient access to urban amenities. The historic Chesterfield County Courthouse, central to the area, has been a landmark since 1749 and is surrounded by various government buildings and the Magnolia Grange Museum, which replicates a 19th-century Virginia home. Recent developments along Iron Bridge Road have introduced new amenities, including a Food Lion, Chipotle, Starbucks, and local dining options like Dante’s of Ironbridge and El Caporal Mexican Restaurant. Residents appreciate the spacious properties, where homes often feature long driveways and are set back from the road, providing privacy and a sense of seclusion. Common home styles include Colonial Revival, split-level, and ranch-style, with some townhouses available near the courthouse. Chesterfield Courthouse is part of the Chesterfield County Public Schools district, with students attending O.B. Gates Elementary, Salem Church Middle, and Lloyd C. Bird High School, which offers the Governor’s Academy for Engineering Studies. The Bird High School Athletic Complex provides extensive recreational facilities, including baseball fields, a Miracle League field, and a handicap-accessible playground. The neighborhood's proximity to Pocahontas State Park offers residents ample opportunities for hiking, fishing, and kayaking across its 8,000 acres. Annual events like the Chesterfield County Fair and Fourth of July celebrations at the fairgrounds bring the community together, featuring games, live music, and fireworks. The area is quieter than the national average, making it a peaceful place to live while still being connected to Richmond via U.S. Interstate 288.
