Blend of city and suburban living
The aptly named Westchester is situated in west Midlothian, around the curve where State Route 288 and the Midlothian Turnpike meet. “It’s a nice, convenient area right on the edge of Midlothian,” says Craig Via. The Realtor with Craig Via Realty and Relocation has worked with buyers and sellers locally for more than 30 years and says many of his clients are interested in Westchester for its location. There are two golf courses and retail and dining options galore right around the corner from the residential sections of the neighborhood. And despite the myriad amenities surrounding them, the subdivisions that make up Westchester remain peacefully suburban. While most of the broad, manicured front lawns are uninterrupted by sidewalks as they stretch to the street, streets here are wide enough to be shared between cars, walkers and bikers alike. “There’s not a lot of through traffic, so you’ll see everyone out walking their dogs and kids learning how to ride a bike down the driveways to the streets,” says Via. But its location isn’t sought-after just for its combination of convenience and calm. Via: “The elementary, middle and high school are exceptional, so the school district is certainly a big factor for buyers looking here.”
The inviting Westchester Commons offers plenty of shopping and dining choices.
Modern homes dominate the Westchester neighborhood.

Living in Westchester communities
Westchester is made up of several smaller subdivisions. Most sprang up between the late 1990s and early 2000s. “But there’s still a lot of new development going on in this part of Midlothian,” says Via, noting that one of his recent listings was built in 2019. “As you move west, homes get older, but there’s more land out here, so we’re continuing to see new construction all the time,” he says. Many of the subdivisions have been built out in phases; Via says that Founders Bridge, at the north end of Westchester, is one such community. “Construction started in the early 2000s and there are still parts of the community being built out today. And the nice thing about there being so much new construction is that many of the homes are custom,” he says. Westchester prices range from $400,000 to more than $1 million. Via: “It’s fairly affluent because of the price tag, but there are homes here for nearly every life stage, starting with those move-up homebuyers looking to upgrade from their first homes to people emptying out their nests and looking to downsize.”
Numerous home styles are available in the neighborhood of Westchester.
Colorful, modern homes can be found throughout Westchester.

Highly sought-after Chesterfield County schools
Westchester students attend highly sought-after schools in the Chesterfield County Public Schools system. The exact pathway can differ depending on address, so make sure to double-check the district boundaries ahead of registration. Youngsters living in the Founders Bridge community go to Bettie Weaver Elementary, Robious Middle and James River High School. “They’re exceptional, three of the most highly rated in the Richmond area,” says Via, noting that several of his clients have cited the schools as a major deciding factor in their homebuying process. On Niche, Weaver and James River High both earned A-minus grades in 2023. Robious Middle earned a B-plus that same year. Teens at James River High can participate in a diverse array of clubs and extracurriculars, from joining athletic teams like soccer or football to joining clubs like Brass & Woodwind Ensemble, chess, drama or Family Career and Community Leaders of America.
Bettie Weaver Elementary School scores an A- from Niche.
Robious Middle School serves students from 6th to 8th grade.
Niche gives James River High School an A-.

Golf and play close to home
There are neighborhood parks in most Westchester subdivisions. Some, like Founders Bridge on the north side of Westchester, offer outdoor pools, playgrounds and tennis courts. For a round or two of golf, locals can visit either Independence Golf Club or Windy Hill Golf Course and Sports Complex. Independence, the club around which Founders Bridge circles, is a public club designed and developed by the Virginia State Golfers Association. “It’s a very unique situation because most of the golf communities in and around Richmond are built around private clubs, but here, you have the benefit of living in a country club community without having to join a private club and fork over all the fees associated with being a member,” says Via. The Windy Hill course is also public, as is the adjacent sports complex, which features everything from mini golf and go-karts to batting cages. It’s off the Midlothian Turnpike toward Westchester’s west end, near Huguenot Springs Road. For a more intense workout, residents can join Gold’s Gym in Westchester Commons. The local movie theater, Regal Cinemas, is in the Westchester Commons shopping center, too, in the curve between State Route 288 and the Midlothian Turnpike.

Convenient to Westchester Commons
Locals can visit Westchester Commons for everyday essentials, retail therapy or even date night. The Main Street-style, walkable shopping center is near the center of Westchester, in the curve where State Route 288 meets the Midlothian Turnpike. There’s a Target and Petco, a JOANN Fabrics and Crafts and quick dining options like Panera Bread and Chick-fil-A. But for a fancier sit-down dining experience, locals enjoy Dominic’s Italian Grille and NAPA Kitchen and Wine. Dominic’s serves up classic Italian fare in an upscale, yet casual atmosphere. For a culinary experience slightly closer to home, NAPA Kitchen and Wine serves up California-inspired dishes and a wine list that reads like it was ripped directly from the vines in Napa Valley. There are tons of options for shopping and dining just minutes down the Midlothian Turnpike, too. In the Ivymont Square shopping center, off the turnpike about 6 minutes east, there’s a Kroger and a Publix. Across the street, there’s also an Aldi.
The Salmon entree is a local favorite at Napa Kitchen and Wine in Westchester Commons.

On the doorstep of the Richmond metro
Midlothian Turnpike, which bisects Westchester from east to west, connects residents from Midlothian all the way through to Richmond. Bisecting Westchester from north to south, State Route 288 is a main thoroughfare locals can hop on to get from Westchester up to Short Pump or down to Chester. Bon Secours Westchester Emergency Center is in the Westchester Medical Park at the center of Westchester, off the turnpike. The Richmond International Airport is farther afield, but still just a 30-minute drive east across the city.
Westchester is bounded by Hwy 288 and the Midlothian Turnpike.
Medical assistance is right in the Westchester neighborhood at Bon Secours.
