Housing styles range from 1920s classics to modern builds
Westhampton offers a wide variety of homes, most of which were built from the 1920s through the ‘50s, though you can also find new construction. Common styles include small bungalows and Cape Cods, classic Colonial Revivals and spacious 21st-century modern homes. “The housing has changed a lot in Westhampton because what the developers have done is with some of the aged houses, they’re tearing them down and building larger properties,” says Sue Farrell, a Realtor with Joyner Fine Properties who’s sold homes in the area for over 50 years. Most of the older homes have been updated, and you can find some with yards as large as a half-acre.

A quieter residential feel with a park and local festival
Once you turn off Grove, Patterson or Libbie avenues and enter the residential part of the neighborhood, things have a quieter feel. It’s common to see neighbors taking a stroll down the street on their way to a restaurant or to Westhampton Green Park. This small green space, also known as Libbie Playground, has a fenced-in play area with swings and slides. Each October, the community comes together for the Party on the Avenues, a festival that celebrates the neighborhood with live music and food trucks.
Highly rated public and private schools serve the area

For higher education, the University of Richmond is a 5-minute drive away, and Virginia Commonwealth University’s Monroe Park campus in The Fan is a 15-minute drive away.
