Welcome to Echo Lake
Echo Lake is a residential community in Henrico County, sandwiched between the Richmond suburbs of Glen Allen and Elmont. This area offers quiet, suburban living northwest of the city limits. Residents enjoy access to various schools and parks amid a tranquil setting, with several major thoroughfares in and around the community connecting them to nearby amenities in Henrico County and Richmond proper. Interstate 295 bisects the neighborhood's north side, while Staples Mill Road forms much of its eastern border.
