A southside suburb close to Forest Hill Park
Walking distance from the woodsy banks of the James River, Reedy Creek offers 20th-century homes, local hotspots and easy access to nearby parks and trails. The community is located south of the James River, along Forest Hill Avenue, which easily connects residents to the rest of the city. "Living so close to the river is an amazing benefit," says Jeannina Moore, Richmond native and southside resident who was previously a real estate agent with Century 21. "It's the best of both worlds--I can enjoy the outdoors, and I'm also less than 20 minutes from nearly anywhere in the city."
Reedy Creek is a quiet and conveniently located neighborhood just 6 miles from DT Richmond.

Close to the James River and Forest Hill Park
One of the biggest perks of living in Reedy Creek is residents' proximity to Forest Hill Park. This expansive, longstanding green space offers trails that lead to the Buttermilk North Bank Trail and Belle Isle. The park also features pickleball courts, a playground and a large lawn that's popular for sledding in the wintertime. "The park is one of the best aspects of living here," says Moore. "I love that I can walk down to the River or Belle Isle, visit the South of the James Farmers Market on the weekends or open up my window and hear the live music that gets played during the summer." The neighborhood is also a favorite for those who enjoy biking, as there are bike lanes along major roads like Forest Hill Avenue and bike-accessible trails in the park. During the summer, residents can head down to Belle Isle or make the short drive to Pony Pasture to spend an afternoon sunbathing, floating or kayaking on the river. Reedy Creek, the namesake waterway that's part of the James River Park System, runs partly through this neighborhood. Reedy Creek has a popular hiking trail that leads down to the James River channel.
Forest Hill Park is an excellent place to walk your dog with 105 acres of open lawn.
The Reedy Creek Trail offers scenic miles to explore adjacent to Reedy Creek.
