City access meets suburban charm
In many ways, living in Crestview is like living on the edge of two worlds. “What makes it attractive for a lot of people is that it is right on the city line,” says James F. Ransone Jr. of Joyner Fine Properties who has over 35 years of experience as a Richmond real estate agent. “They also like the idea of a county school system.” Adjacent to Interstate 64 and West Broad Street, Crestview residents are just a 10-minute commute from downtown Richmond while enjoying the benefits of living in neighboring Henrico County, including lower taxes. Although its location is attractive to many, Crestview’s community is what makes people stay. “The vibe is very much people in all stages of life supporting one another,” says Amanda Lysak, a Realtor at Maison Real Estate Boutique who has lived in the neighborhood for almost 10 years and has sold homes there for five years. “Being that diverse in the age of homeowners really gives you that opportunity to turn to anybody to seek support or information. I just feel like when you’re in our little neighborhood, you almost feel like you’re in your own world in the best way. Everything always feels like its own little safety net, the way everybody has formed their own little communities within this community. And I don’t think you can always find that everywhere.”
Older homes starting at $350,000
Cape Cods and ranch-style homes are prevalent here, but the established neighborhood also has its share of split-levels and traditional Colonial Revivals, with most houses sitting on large, treed lots. Many homes date from the 1950s, but there are newer homes that were built in the early 2000s in subdivisions like Charles Glen and Dickens Glen. “In Crestview, you can still buy a nice house for $350,000,” Ransone says, but they go fast; one of his recent listings here lasted only one day on the market. Prices here generally range from around $425,000 to the mid-$600,000s, with more expensive houses typically found farther from I-64 and closer to the adjacent neighborhood of Tuckahoe. Even at these more standard list prices, homes go quickly. Lysak says that most Crestview homes sell within three or four days. “They’ll start showings on Wednesday or Thursday, and they’ll review offers on Sunday or Monday,” she says. “They typically sell at or above list price."

Henrico schools with a focus on community improvement
Henrico County Public Schools gets a B-plus rating from Niche and, according to Lysak, are another major draw to the neighborhood. Local children can attend Crestview Elementary School, which has C, and Tuckahoe Middle School, which has a B-plus, before moving to Douglas S. Freeman High School. With an A-minus from Niche, Freeman High has a student volunteer group called The Freeman Project that takes on community service projects to better the community. The adjacent Three Chopt neighborhood is home to private schools like the all-boys St. Christopher’s School and the all-girls St. Catherine’s School, both of which teach pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and have A-plus ratings.

Westwood Club Tennis Courts
Accessibility and fun at Cheswick Park
Cheswick Park is Henrico County’s oldest park. After a long renovation, it reopened in January 2024 and is now equipped with a new playground, fitness equipment, restrooms and newly paved walking trails, all emphasizing accessibility for disabled members of the community. Westwood Park is much smaller but offers a nice playground with equipment geared toward younger children. Just outside the neighborhood, Bandy Field is a popular spot for frisbee, picnics or simply going on a walk, and there are tennis courts tucked along the back of the park. Westwood Club offers members access to its tennis courts, where lessons, leagues and tournaments for tennis, squash and racquetball are often held, as well as a full-service fitness facility and outdoor pool. Nearby, The Weinstein Jewish Community Center offers educational classes, afterschool programs and the region’s only Jewish theater.
Diverse cuisine along Horsepen Road, West Broad Street
West Broad Street is lined with local restaurants, including Mekong, a well-known Vietnamese spot that’s popular for its craft beer and dumplings. Heading further into Crestview doesn’t diminish dining options, either. Locals often eat at Pho Thien Phat, another popular Vietnamese place known for its pho, sit down at Full Kee for dim sum or head to the brightly painted Original Mexican Restaurant, which offers $1.50 tacos on Mondays. Shopping options include Burlington for clothes and Home Depot. Willow Lawn’s abundance of shopping is also just outside Crestview, offering shopping at big box stores like Ross, Old Navy and Ulta Beauty alongside a Kroger for groceries. Walmart offers groceries right in the neighborhood, as does Tan A Supermarket, a popular Asian grocery store. Just outside it, Publix and Target provide even more options.

Driving along I-64, Monument Avenue, West Broad Street
In addition to Crestview’s accessibility to I-64 and West Broad Street, Monument Avenue, which is another of Richmond’s most iconic streets, runs right through the neighborhood. Lined with trees and older homes, it brings residents toward the city about 8 miles away. These roads make it easy to get just about anywhere in the Richmond area by car. Henrico Doctors’ Hospital and Bon Secours St. Mary’s Hospital are also both located in the neighborhood.
Celebrating culture at the Armenian Food Festival
Every year, St. James Armenian Church hosts the Armenian Food Festival. “It’s huge,” Lysak says. “It kind of spans Richmond and Henrico.” With free admission, the festival has been running for over 60 years and features Armenian music, dancing and food.
