The Creighton Court Community Center provides residents with a playground and basketball court for outdoor recreation. For a more comprehensive outdoor facility, residents head to Hidden Creek Park, which is about a mile north of the neighborhood. The park features a playground, tennis and pickleball courts, a hiking trail and picnic shelters. During the summer months, the Woodville Community Pool, located approximately a half-mile north of Creighton, is open to the public for swimming under the watchful eyes of trained lifeguards.Nearby eateries and proximity to the Eastgate Town Center
When it’s time to stock up on groceries, residents head to The Market at 25th, approximately a mile east of the neighborhood. For other shopping needs, Eastgate Town Center is less than 10 minutes east by car. There, residents can shop at stores including Walmart Supercenter, Citi Trends and Family Dollar, and they can also take advantage of the workout facilities at Planet Fitness. Several restaurants are also located in Eastgate Town Center, including Mi Gurrero Mexican Restaurant and Crafty Crab seafood. For unexpected medical emergencies, Bon Secours Richmond Community Hospital is less than a mile away, and the neighborhood is also 10 minutes by car from the Richmond International Airport. “The fact that I-64 is so close makes it easy to get just about anywhere,” says MacDougal. “That’s another appealing thing about the neighborhood.”

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.
