Neighborhood in Dinwiddie County
Dinwiddie County 23850
Ford’s housing stock is limited
Land comes up for sale far more often than homes do in Ford. That said, when houses do come on the market, they range from around $100,000 to the high $700,000s. On the low end are older, smaller homes in need of a little TLC, like a vintage 1950s cottage. Renovated, move-in-ready properties generally start in the low $200,000s. Typical of the countryside, lots are spacious, usually measuring around an acre or more. Popular styles include Cape Cods and Minimal Traditional ranch-style homes.Ford is more than 20 minutes from the nearest park
Ford is just over a 15-mile drive from the closest park and recreation center. Dinwiddie Sports Complex is roughly a 20-minute drive from the heart of the neighborhood. It features a football stadium, a soccer stadium and four ballfields. The county’s Eastside Enhancement Center has a playground closer to 30 minutes away. For more outdoorsy recreation, Whippernock Marina & Campground is right on Lake Chesdin, about 15 miles away. The lake is a hub for fishing, boating and swimming.Students attend the most sought-after elementary school in Dinwiddie County
Served by Dinwiddie County Public Schools, Ford is in the sought-after Midway Elementary school zone.

U.S. 460 intersects with Interstate 85, about 20 miles away, outside of Petersburg. A few miles farther, I-85 intersects with I-95, which is a direct route into Downtown Richmond, 50 miles away – roughly an hour-long drive depending on traffic. I-95 can take drivers most of the way to Richmond International Airport, also about an hour away.Grocery and restaurant options in Blackstone
The closest grocery stores are Walmart and Food Lion in Blackstone, about 16 miles west. The town also has some locally owned eateries, such as Grill Sergeant VA BBQ. The newer spot has already found a home in the hearts and stomachs of locals with its classic Southern menu and cozy interior. Up the street, The Brew House is popular for its live music, karaoke nights and – of course – craft beer. For more extensive errand runs or for the closest emergency room, Petersburg is about 30 miles west.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
