Brookwoods
Lakeside subdivisions
Brookwoods is home to a few established subdivisions. One is the Five Lakes subdivision, named for the private lakes created alongside the neighborhood in 1965. The house styles vary, with a few English Tudors in the neighborhood, along with Colonials, Cape Cods and ranchers—all within a few blocks. The neighborhood’s 500 homes sit on spacious, well-maintained lots amid mature trees. Adjacent to Five Lakes is the newer Patriot’s Landing subdivision, offering spacious new builds with classic architecture on wide, curving streets. A clubhouse and community pool with an on-duty lifeguard are a few of the amenities provided to residents. Residents of Five Lakes and Patriot’s Landing share access to the lakes, paying a monthly fee of $40 to maintain them. It’s a small price for residents to pay for the ability to fish, kayak or canoe in the private waters. Meanwhile, Rock Creek Villas caters to the 55-plus crowd, with 60 ADA-friendly homes overlooking the Brookwoods Golf Course. Residents enjoy a clubhouse adjacent to a wildlife-protected nature area, two ponds with lighted fountains, paved walkways and a large gazebo. The homes are maintenance-free, all-brick exterior single-family homes. These single-story homes are designed with mobility challenges in mind, each home being ADA-compliant. Home prices in the area range from $265,000 to $800,000.Getting schooled in Brookwoods

The Brookwoods Golf Club is one of the main draws of the neighborhood. It’s walkable from the Five Lakes neighborhood and a quick drive from anywhere else in Brookwoods.

Meanwhile, Quinton Park has two playgrounds, a mile-long walking trail and a picnic area with grills. York River State Park is also close by.

Locals can spend an afternoon at Jolene Family Winery just outside the neighborhood. This family-run local business was voted Best Winery in Style Weekly Magazine’s Best of Richmond 2021 Reader’s Poll. When it’s time for dinner, residents head to Cooper’s Tavern and Taproom for classic pub food favorites. The popular Nashville chicken sandwich is not to be missed, and when in the mood for seafood, patrons can try their specialty crab cakes. Of course, when locals wish to make their own culinary masterpieces, they pick up groceries at Food Lion. Other daily essentials can be procured at Dollar General or Walgreens. For more extensive shopping, the Shops at White Oak Village are just a short drive on the highway and offer 55 retail stores and 10 restaurants.Gettng around

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.
