Rural charm and city convenience meet in Buckingham
Buckingham surrounds the geographical center of Virginia, a rural area with open farmland and verdant pastures. It's location allows residents to enjoy the space and privacy of country living without sacrificing access to city amenities in Charlottesville and Richmond. “I have clients who work in Charlottesville but live in Buckingham because they want that rural feel,” says Khaliyah Barakhyahu, a Realtor with New Canaan Properties at Exp Realty who sells homes throughout the county. “It’s the same thing the other way. You’re not too far from Richmond, so when it comes to shopping, people will do their major mall-type shopping in Charlottesville or Richmond.” With Charlottesville just 40 miles north and Richmond 76 miles east, Buckingham offers a peaceful lifestyle and a CAP Index Crime Score of 1 out of 10, well below the national average of 4.
Spacious lots and countryside charm across Buckingham County
Homes here offer quiet country living in a private setting. The town’s median lot size is over 1 acre, and some properties have enough room for a hobby farm or homestead. The village of Buckingham is the most densely populated part of the community, with farmhouse-style homes, quaint cottages and 19th-century Greek Revival-style builds along U.S. Route 60. State highways branch off the thoroughfare and wind through the countryside, where ranch-style homes and rustic log cabin-inspired retreats sit on tree-lined lots off long driveways. Newer construction is also scattered throughout Buckingham. Most properties rely on well water and septic systems. Prices for single-family homes generally range from $190,000 to $500,000, though those with significant acreage can sell for upwards of $560,000. Lots sell for $20,000 to $100,000 and offer opportunities for residents to build their own homes. “A lot of communities don’t have HOAs, so you’ll see people who want to come out and build what they want to build,” Barakhyahu says.

Buckingham County Primary School receives a B-minus, while Buckingham County Elementary School, Buckingham County Middle School and Buckingham County High School all score a C-minus. The Buckingham County Public Schools Gifted Program serves students from kindergarten through 12th grade, and participants engage in specialized enrichment activities throughout the school day.

Nature lovers have access to recreational areas near the James River
The James River winds along Buckingham’s northwestern edge and is a destination for outdoor recreation.
