When hungry, Midlothian Turnpike is packed with options. Head to Abuelita’s for authentic Mexican cuisine. Try their rotating stew options or cactus salad. Korean Garden is another nearby option, serving tender Korean BBQ cooked right at your table.
Medical care couldn’t be closer with Chippenham Hospital, which has been awarded the “America's 250 Best Hospitals Award” for the past 3 years, right in the neighborhood. When you want to get to the big city, hop on Powhite Parkway for an easy 7-mile drive to downtown Richmond.

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.
