After school and on the weekends, many locals head to the 53-acre Huguenot Park near the neighborhood. The area is heavily wooded with pine and hardwood and offers fitness trails and a popular playset alongside basketball courts and fields for soccer and football. Robious Landing, another local park, is right next to James River High and offers “lots of trails that are right along the river, and it is a great spot to put in the kayak,” says Karen Kerner, an office assistant at Robious Middle School and a lifelong resident of the area.

Local shoppes and towne centers
Robious residents are never too far from shopping and dining options, with such destinations as The Shoppes at Bellgrade and Chesterfield Towne Center both within 2 miles of the neighborhood’s center. For dining, the Shoppes at Bellgrade offer varied options, like the modern sports bar setting at Wood and Iron, a local Richmond chain. The shops also have The Hard Shell, another local chain with an “upscale seafood sort of feel” Kerner says. The restaurant that is repeatedly voted the best seafood in the city by Richmond magazine.

Convenient Richmond roads
The neighborhood is mainly residential, with few sidewalks for residents to use. “You really have to drive around here,” Kerner says, “but it is super convenient, you are about an 8-minute drive from Carytown.” This is partially due to the Midlothian Turnpike being just 2 miles from the neighborhood, providing quick access to the rest of the greater Richmond area. For trips unreachable by roads, Richmond International Airport is 23 miles to the east of the neighborhood. For medical care, Johnston-Willis Hospital is 2 ½ miles from the neighborhood and specializes in Neurological care and oncology.
Powhite Parkway provides quick and easy access from Robious to downtown Richmond.

For weekend and summer fun, the VA Power Boat Association sits along the James River. This private club has been open since 1939 and offers a small marina for boating along the river, a pool area, and a place to dry dock the boat.
