Locally owned businesses minutes from tranquil suburbs
Local pubs and markets are minutes away from homes in the community of Westhampton. Originally a suburb along the Richmond streetcar line, Westhampton has developed a solid small business community that contributes to a proud and supportive community. “It has maintained its value through any economic downturn,” says Susan Fisher, a local Realtor at Long and Foster Realty and a lifelong Richmonder. “Mainly because of its central location with mid-range and high price homes, access to restaurants and shopping and schools and more.” Locals walk or bike to grab coffee or groceries along Libbie Avenue, a short distance from other Richmond commercial districts like Carytown.

Patrons stop along The Avenues for Westhampton's shops and eateries
Westhampton's small-town charm is evident in its retail district, alive with locally owned restaurants and boutiques along Libbie Avenue and Grove Avenue, locally dubbed "the Avenues." Pet owners can shop for toys and treats at For the Love of Pete. Right next door is Apothec, an aromatherapy store that also sells bath products and hosts classes on herbalism and related topics. Residents can pick up groceries from the Libbie Market and Cafe. The market was the previous location of the Ukrop family's specialty store. It was saved by a local campaign just as it was about to close. After a name change and the addition of a cafe, the market has become a favorite place for locals to shop and dine.
Patrons can start the day with a cup of coffee on the patio at Grit Coffee. Craft brews and unique burgers are on the menu at Jack Browns Beer & Burger Joint on Grove Avenue. Just down the street is Beijing on Grove, a modern gastropub dishing out Cantonese dishes and a selection of craft cocktails.
