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.”

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.
