Robious
Suburban Neighborhood in Midlothian, Virginia
Chesterfield County 23113
Richmond Colonials hidden in the trees
Homes in Robious make up a majority of the neighborhood. Around every bend of the street, locals can find colonial revivals and transitional-style homes with varied rooflines, most of which sport four to five bedrooms as well as multiple stories on lots that are often over one acre. These lots are often covered by mature oak trees and provide plenty of space for parking or for a garage. Properties in Robious range in price from $480,000 to upwards of $1 million, with prices increasing with lot size and access to the water.Chesterfield Parks to the east and west
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.Chesterfield County Public Schools
Students can start their education at Robious Elementary School, which earns a B-minus rating on Niche before heading off to Robious Middle School, which receives a B-plus rating. Both the middle and elementary schools are within walking distance of many Robious homes. Students finish their education at the A-rated James River High School, which has a robust athletics program, including swimming, soccer, baseball and golf teams. For private schools, students in grades eight through 12 can attend the coeducational Trinity Episcopal School, which also receives an A rating.Boat clubs and downtown Richmond events
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. For annual events, many choose to head to downtown Richmond and enjoy events such as Dominion Riverrock, which is said to be one of the largest outdoor sports and music festivals in the U.S., and the Carytown Watermelon Festival in early August.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.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. For creating seafood dishes at home, Kroger is mere feet from both restaurants. For shopping, the Chesterfield Towne Center boasts over 100 retailers and restaurants and is anchored by the Macy’s and JCPenney.
