Rural but not remote
Chesterfield Courthouse, about 20 miles south of Richmond, Virginia, offers residents a piece of the country. Named for the historic courthouse at its center, the neighborhood has easy access to U.S. Interstate 288, which leads to the city, and Iron Bridge Road, where recent construction brings new amenities to this previously spread-out area. People like that they can get a modest home on a good amount of land. When it’s warm, fireflies illuminate front yards, and people can hear the bugs and birds from screened porches. “This is a good place for people who want to be removed from Richmond while having access to it,” says Casey Green, who was raised in the neighborhood. “It feels rural but not remote.”
Chesterfield Courthouse, about 20 miles from downtown Richmond, offers locals small town charm.
Iron Bridge Rd runs along the Chesterfield Courthouse neighborhood adding quick access to SR288.

The Chesterfield County Courthouse
The historic Chesterfield County Courthouse is the neighborhood’s centerpiece. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992, the courthouse has served the county since 1749. While a new building was erected in 1917, it stands on the same grounds as the original courthouse. In the area surrounding the courthouse are various other government buildings, like the Department of Social Services and the Chesterfield County Detention Center. Also nearby are The Chesterfield County Public Library and the Magnolia Grange Museum, which mimics a 19th-century Virginia home.
The old courthouse is a historic Landmark in the Chesterfield Courthouse neighborhood.

Green, who used to be a lifeguard at the park, says, “My family goes hiking there a lot, and I spent a lot of time fishing and kayaking at Pocahontas as a teenager. When I was a lifeguard, people from all over Chesterfield would come out and swim at the pool.”

What’s happening at the Chesterfield County Fairgrounds

The fairgrounds host other events throughout the year, like a Fourth of July celebration, where vendors sell goods, live music plays and children run around the Kids Zone. The evening, of course, culminates with locals looking upward at fireworks burning red, white and blue.
