Colonial Revival homes on half-acre lots
Most of the single-family homes in Roxshire were built between the 1970s and 1990s. The majority are Colonial Revivals, with symmetrical facades and brick or wood exteriors. Shutters are often painted in muted reds or blues for a timeless look. Some homes built in the '90s incorporate colonial design elements into houses with asymmetrical facades and pitched roofs for a more contemporary look. "Timmons didn't like the contemporary stuff. He wouldn't approve them," Long says. "When they were first building [Salisbury and Roxshire], colonials were what you always saw and what everybody was wanting. As time progressed, some of the other styles have come into play." Houses usually sell for between $500,000 and $800,000.Most properties sit on about half an acre, with tall trees and brush providing privacy between neighbors. "It's older, established, and nothing is clear-cut. People are dying to have the privacy of the trees and larger lots," says James Strum, Broker at Long & Foster Real Estate and Roxshire resident.
River access at Robious Landing Park and Salisbury Country Club
Robious Landing Park has hiking trails and opportunities for canoeing and kayaking on the James River about 3 miles from Roxshire. The community has proposed a neighborhood park on Corner Rock Road that would have a playground and picnic tables. The park is still in the planning stages as of December 2024. Salisbury Country Club is about 2 miles west. This private facility has a 27-hole golf course, swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and a clubhouse that hosts member-only events. The Virginia Powerboat Association is a private boating club nearby on the James River. "You have the best of both worlds: you've got private venues you can join, but you also have the public availability of the parks," Strum says. "You can choose whatever lifestyle you want."Kids go to highly rated Chesterfield County public schools
Students living in Roxshire may begin at Robious Elementary School, which earns a B from Niche, and Robious Middle School, which earns a B-plus.

Each year on Christmas Eve, the Roxshire and Salisbury neighborhoods glow with holiday luminaries along every street. Homeowners come together to set up for the event and celebrate the holiday. The Civic Association also has resident-run committees such as the Architectural Review, Landscaping, Membership and Welcoming committees.Driving to downtown Richmond from Roxshire
